AC tripping generator
Hey all. I seem to be having some AC issues unfortunately. I ran some diagnostics but I haven't been able to figure out the problem. I'm using a Westinghouse igen4500df generator. This should be mo...

I got my soft start but I am having install issues. If you have any insight there, here is the link: https://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/30394528/p/1.cfm
It did not solve my issue but its quite possible I got wiring messed up or I'm not doing something correctly. Now the soft start trips with a "Stall" error instead of my generator tripping lol.
I did not run any additional metering tests because it was getting late. I hooked the soft start on, gave it a few runs to try it and it just made my problems worse for the time being because now instead of a chance the generator trips, the soft start has the "Stall" error 100% of the time.
As far as the short cycling goes I'm not sure what protections are on this unit. I did get the model number to it though. It is a Dometic Duo Therm 59516.331 AC unit. It is 13.5k BTUs. Not a very big unit. Whenever I short cycle I do it on purpose shutting down the unit then starting it back up after about 15-30 seconds.
Also note that I did NOT test the 12v battery theory yet. That could still very well be an issue of it forcing a short cycle if the inverter is cutting the thermostat on and off. This will be another thing I test out this weekend. Trips in a week so gotta figure it all out by then lol
