Unfortunately your results are also irrelevant without also offering details about elevation, outside ambient temperature, whether the A/C in question is or is not equipped with a hard start cap, even fan speed plays a role. I too can successfully start my hard start equipped 13.5K BTU Dometic Brisk II with my EU2000i but that too is meaningless when the elevation here isn't much above sea level and ambient temps are significantly lower now that we're well into fall. :( In the heat of summer when it's really humid and ambient temps are well into the 90s and therefore when I'd most want to run A/C there's no way my EU2000i will start this A/C. :(
It was 84F out when I did my test. I am 100 ft above sealevel here in NJ. Flatland mostly unless you get into the mountains of north jersey. Highest elevation in NJ is 2000 feet I believ.
The a/c has the supco spp6..
supco spp6 hard start cap
My test is not irrelevant as these are the #'s running the a/c. Aside from starting the a/c if its hot out these #'s should remain the same, no?
