What is the purpose of waiting just one minute before trying to restart? This would seem to be unusual operating conditions for the air conditioner. Normally, when the compressor cycles on/off, the time it takes is much longer than a minute, thus allowing the head pressure to bleed off and making it easier to restart.
So, why the one-minute wait period?
While it may not happen in a perfect world, It can happen in extreme conditions. Checking by the above method will test the generator's ability to start under worst case load.
Using under-powered equipment can easily cause "brown-out" conditions shortening the life of an air-conditioner.
My central air-conditioner at home is now over 40 years old. I opted for over-size which eased the working load on the unit. We live in a city that rarely has power problems.
Buying and using equipment correctly sized for current and future use always pays off in the end.
