It also forces 2000-3000w inverter generator engines near/at full throttle for a second or two, not to mention the severe stress on the inverter components as it ramps up to provide that 55-65a. This, of course, is assuming the generator is even capable of starting the compressor without the Micro Air to begin with. In any event, with a Micro Air Easy Start installed that 55-65a thump is replaced with a leisurely, near thumpless, 15-20a load. May not be a big deal to some ears, but certainly a big deal to the generator.
Another advantage of the Micro Air Easy Start is it eliminated the "thump" when the compressor starts. The thump is what stalls smaller generators, but in a small trailer it is an annoying noise. Glad to "hear" it is gone!
