3 tons,
It is a Dometic 13500 and draws between 1200 and 1900 watts. It is equipped with a Microair Easy Start. The overload indicator, pre microair, would stay on for about 2 seconds. Post microair that became two flashes--each one a bit less than a second.
The overload light does not come on when I use the 1591 watt microwave, nor any of the other "high load" devices.
Pre microair the surge was enough to cause my autoformer to boost voltage before the fan and compressor had finished spinning up. Post microair that no longer happened.
I've reset the autoformer voltage trigger to boost sooner (i.e. at a higher voltage)--but have not had a chance to test whether this will help with start up.
