I have a older Yamaha 2000iS (not sv2) and a Magnum 3012 hybrid inverter but can’t run an AC due to the poor surge capability of the generator (it drops voltage too fast for inverter to ‘support’ it s...

On edit, to clarify:
The ad hoc fix I’m now thinking about is to add another ATS Switch with it’s own dedicated genny power cord….By this means, when not using the generator I’ll still be able to run the air cond on shore power OR inverter via the existing path, but with the addition of a separate isolated ATS switch (and dedicated genny power cord), the option of using the Honda in eco mode (when active) to exclusively power up just the air conditioner…This (only when genny is active) will isolate shore power and/or the inverter (either source) from the generator until the genny is shut down….With genny active, ATS will ensure no conflict between either of the power paths - with genny on new power cord as the priority…With genny down, new ATS will redirect power coming from the inverter or shore power (whichever is active) to the air conditioner….
