fan delay on make timer to help start up for ac generator

[rockwind1]

along with the spp6, i was going to install one of these delay on make devices to save a couple start up amps.

has anyone put one in?

i would be tempted to put it inline with the 110 v fan wire vs. the thermostat wire,

also, my front ac doens't have a wall thermostat, just a "cold-colder" rotating switch on the unit.

any advice or tips from someone who has traveled this path?

thanks for looking at my post, kevin

Look at this thread. OP changed wiring method so correct way is from post #13 on.

I played with the idea a couple of times of turning on the FAN first then flipping to A/C and could get my unit started using the 2KW Honda Generator. It usually would work fine until it cycled the first time and then tripped the breaker.

If you add a time delay of some sort it would probably have to be active all the time not just for the initial start-up period.
