I no longer am concerned about the restarting. Now that I know that's what has to be done, then so be it. I am MUCH more concerned why everyone and their brother said I could NOT run my AC off ONE honda 2000? No way. Nada. Not going to happen. Forgetaboutit... Now? Oh sure, you can run your AC off one outlet all day long and twice on Sundays.
Yes, yes, yes, we all know about combining things. Can't run this when running this. I am not talking about that. I am talking about the fact that the AC could not physically run off one 2000 generator PERIOD. By itself. Nothing else running with it.
Even the mechanic where I bought it said no way is one 2000 gonna run the AC. Something is amiss here..
This isn't speculation or some weird, off the grid article I cam upon, it is generally noted and accepted that 2 2000 are needed (or one 3000) to run the AC. That's just a fact.
You are a plumber right? You know that a certain amount of liquid runs thru a 1 inch pipe. Same with electricity. A 30 amp circuit has a certain amount of electricity running thru it. and until you try to get more than 30 amps out of it you are fine. After that is shuts down. A 13500 btu AC doesn't draw 30 amps of electricity. so it can run on less than 30 amps.
As for the small generators. one doesn't pump enough electricity. So it won't run the AC. 2 in unison do pump enough. A 1 GPM pump can't pump as much as a 2 GPM pump. But together 2, 1 GPM pumps can.
