Most air conditioners I have run across have a label on them saying wait 2 minutes before restarting because of the high head pressure. The generator will bog down because the air conditioner is in locked rotor mode until the high head pressure decreases. A 13500 btu AC may draw up to 60 amps when in locked rotor mode(about 7200 watts), far too much for a 3000 watt generator. Even when hooked to home power the AC may not start immediately. Instead it may trip an internal automatically resettable thermal safety switch until the head pressure decreases.
