However, to imply that an EU2000i is operating at 100% when powering ANY 13.5k BTU a/c at sea level is simply incorrect.
Thats right. It is simply incorrect and here are hard #'s
Well I took some readings.. This honda 2000 starts the 13.5 duo therm A/C no problem..
Plugged into killowatt meter. Turned off converter charging side.
( converter was showing 3.19 amps /172 watts draw trying to charge the batterys hence why I turned off the charging side. That 3 amps could be the factor starting the a/c. Once a/c was started I flipped the convertor back on, Gen ran no problems.)
With a/c running gen shows 124.2 volts output. ( 126v with no laods)
9.19 amp draw with a/c running..
1005 watts being drawn... Not bad. Alittle more then 50% capacity of the gen.
Right at 60 hz...
Its also the quietest gen I ever heard...
With that said it would be nice boondocking as we had this summer in 90f plus weather to be able to cool down the camper mid day...
