I had a trailer with a 900W microwave at one time. Tried to run it with an ordinary 1850W Coleman generator. It did exactly like the OP said. It would come on, the light inside would then dim,flicker, generator would then pull down under load.
Then one time i added a 50ft extension cord (to get the noisey generator farther away),and the micro ran fine! What gives? Extra inductive load delay or something?? Go figure!
