I had the most luck by adding a hard start capacitor to the compressor motor and also delay timers on my other fan motors when my central a/c system is switched on it reduced the start up amps and helped my situation. I fully intend on playing with different breakers in the future on this...

I have been fully understanding you statement and facts about FLA , LRA , and RLA for motors. I'm surely not listening or not grasping all this information . I was being taught the same stuff all through school . Lol. I just have changed my opinion and am looking at motors with a whole...

I really want to thank everyone that have helped and given experience and knowledge on this subject. I have a few observations about the breaker on this generator as well as the new HVAC units on the market. First off, If I came to service your a/c unit and it was running 11-12 amps.< photo...

Thanks for the information . My top priority now is to get serious about the r3 adjustment . I'm actually happy with just 39 amps at start up. A few years ago it was a lot more from the older units. I believe this number should be easily overcame with the mep002 , considering it falls so fast...

I will talk with a couple of industry HVAC friends tomorrow they have first hand information on these soft starts . I checked my 4 ton heat pump with a true RMS amp meter. Its starting amps was 39 and levelled out at 11 -12 . During 90 degree heat. I'm still planning on checking the r3 reistor...

Then you know that the hard start kit is your cheapest and easiest option. I completely agree with you, under normal circumstances. However I happen to have several good 3 pole breaker's and weather proof enclosures just laying around. I also have some fusible disconnects not in use. I will...

I must be missing something because I still am searching for the R3 adjustment procedure. can anyone help. I'm looking into a softstart for my A/C , or a separate breaker, or just changing generators to the 10kw model. I really like the low fuel consumption of my 5kw, its hard to beat lol. I...

Hello, I just joined the forum after reading the post on the Mep002a generator. I'm having the same problem with the Breaker cutting out with motor and compressor start up. I have been able to use everything in my home except the A/C , including the electric 50gl hot water tank and the electric...
