Honda EU2000i or A/C issue. Help
I bought a 2007 Outfitter Apex 8 about a month ago. Last week I got a new Honda EU2000i so I can run my A/C on the Texas Beach. I've only been able to get the A/C to start 1 time out of 20 tries. It's...

Thanks okan-star. I personally have problems understanding why you would want to run an A/C through an inverter. Maybe there is a benefit I am not aware of. If it is intended to run the A/C off of the batteries, it sure does not look very logical to me. But there are a lot of things that don't look logical to me.

Wayne, I think the intent is for the Magnum to function as a UPS. That way if your power source goes away you still run from the inverter without missing a beat. I think the input AC feeds directly to the output so long as the input voltage is "good" so while it goes through the inverter box, I don't think it's running off the inverter.
Properly wired the A/C would probably not be wired to it at all but I assume the install was just done to the incoming power lead to minimize modification to the existing system. The ideal setup would be for most of the AC items to run downstream of the Magnum and the things you know you wouldn't ever run from the interter on their own subpanel directly from shore/generator.
