I know the topic is about how to reduce the locked rotor amps of AC at start up with a soft start micro capacitor. Being able to reduce this makes the question of what a smaller inverter will do with a typical RV Air Conditioner. I put the chart below together based on the specs given by Coleman for the MACH 8. The watts based on the outside air temperature answers a lot of questions for me.
Coleman MACH 8 15000 AC
Temp. 110 105 100 95 90 85 80
Watts 2016 1901 1786 1671 1556 1441 1326
Amps 17.53 16.53 15.53 14.53 13.53 12.53 11.53
