Hi,
Do you know how much the voltage drops while using eco mode when starting up the air conditioner?DSteiner51 wrote:
I have a 2800 Subaru/Robin generator that couldn't start my 13.5 AC without a soft start kit. I then bought a new 5th with a 15 btu AC and no way it would start it. I purchased a Micro Air soft start and now with it on economy mode it starts it just fine. No need to turn off the convertor or fridge. BIG difference!
No I don't. I do know that my Progressive EMS (surge protector) kicks off when voltage drops below 104 volts and it doesn't drop enough for it to drop off line in eco mode.
