Koehler 5 confidant generator

Simple trick. Plug in a lamp with a 60-75 watt bulb. Turn on one AC and see if bulb dims some. Then turn on the second AC and watch the bulb.

My guess is the bulb will dim right down and the generator will shut off. Who knows maybe that Kohler never could run two AC's at the same time.

Maybe The idea was you would shut off the bedroom AC/door during the day. Then shut off the living area AC and the bedroom door during the night for sleeping. Did your rig ever run both AC's on the Kohler 5?

Never did run both without slowing down to 90 volts,now it shuts immediately down when 2nd ac turned on. But it always dragged the voltage down to where you couldnt dare leave it running at that low of voltage. Everything else runs fine with gen. power either ac runs just fine when operated alone. You may be right about never being able to hold both on but the owners manual says you can run both (gen. only) 30 amp system so you can only run one at a time on shore power.
