The EU2000 can usually handle an A/C running, just not the compressor start-up.
Sure it can - Micro-Air Easy Start Soft Starter Kit ... and the new EU2200i would handle this task even better. :B
well, absolutely, sort of. In my case, yes with the micro air it easily will handle startup under every condition I have experienced.
And the startup is smooth, no grunt, no fuss even at 4500Ft on a very hot day. However, you still have the issue of long term overload. Not an issue at lower temps and lower altitudes.
But I found out that at 4500ft and 90F, after about 10 minutes the poor honda 2000 would trip out on overload. Now looking at temp, barometric pressure and humidity, my density altitude was about 6000ft.
so, it was drag out the other honda and parallel them.
But since it would run for 10-15 minutes before overload, I'll bet the 2200VA unit would probably get me from "almost adequate" to "barely adequate". and would make the slick ticket.
