We have two Honda eu2000i generators paralleled running a 15k AC. Honda generators paired like this will only provide 4000 watts for first thirty minutes, then they dial themselves back to 3200. The 15Kbtu requires 3800 watts for initial start, so test failed about 40 mins in after about the 3rd or 4th kick-on.
Soft start should reduce this below the required threshold. Parts are on order, should be here within the week and we'll do another test after installation.
An additional note, with our two eu2000i Honda's, with AC running we were able to put up the satellite and watch TV too, but as I said, after 30 min the power went down, but once the SoftStartUp is installed, that will be resolved.
