Going back to an earlier post you mention a toaster oven “ramping up” its power use. That doesn’t make sense. A resistive device will instantly go to full power and then actually fall just a bit as the elements heat. The ramping effect you are seeing may be a problem with your inverter or battery system limiting power on initial demand and could be the source of the air conditioner problem as well.
its not instant, at least not my testing. resistive and ptc type elements, ramp, its less then 2 seconds in my test, but motor's definitely surge harder in my testing.
It will be closer to instant than you can measure. If you are seeing a 2 second delay it’s in your measurement equipment or power source.
