Okay, so I installed the spp6 across the compressor. It still goes into overload. I have it isolated. I have the gens out of Econ mode...... Trips it every time. I am pulling my hair and kicking the neighbors dog over the money wasted on this...... Any other ideas? Fwiw..... The ac unit is a dometic.
I would have ventured to say that something is wrong with your A/C and it'd drawing way more amps than it should be...but with a trailer that's only 2 years old this seems unlikely....yet not impossible.
I'd get a watts-up meter, plug it in between the generators and the trailer while plugged into shore power, and see what it shows for startup draw when you turn on the A/C.
When you installed the SPP6, did you leave the existing start cap in place and just piggyback the SPP6?
yeah, I just piggy-backed it.
Another thing, the existing run cap also feeds the fan motor.....is that normal?
