What leaving this main circulation fan ON all of the time means with respect to generator loading is ... the air conditioner's start up current loading (compressor locked rotor large current spike plus main circulation fan locked shaft smaller current spike) on the generator is reduced because the main circulation fan is already running whenever the compressor starts.
OTOH one can eliminate fan load entirely upon initial start up by installing an SPDT switch with a centre off position to the A/C thermostat ... allow the compressor to come up to speed, then turn on the fan ... one of the tricks I used to enable my EU2000i to start our 13,500 BTU Mach 3+ A/C. I wish the Micro-Air Easy Start had been available then and I was aware of it as I'm confident that would have been the better solution. :)
