pianotuna, How does an autoformer help with starting the a/c ?
I have an autoformer and wondered about starting a 13,500 a/c off it.
I just replace3d the a/c unit. My old one would start and run on it but, not cycle and restart.
I have the Wen 2000 inverter. It has a much shorter period of overload than a Honda etc, like maybe a second or 2, but not enough for the a/c to restart.
I couldn't justify a couple hundred bucks for a microsoft and then running the genny at almost max output continuously.
I will probably end up buying another genny for @ $4oo and parallel them. Just wondering how the autoformer figures in.
