I have the WGen10500 and a 4 ton unit and it ran it without out a soft start. I also have a 50amp 6 gauge cord. In everyone's case below the factor is LRA/inrush amps on start up of the unit. You may have other loads in your house drawing amperage at the same time the AC unit is starting. A refrigerator freezer, electric water heater. The best thing to do is turn off breakers to all loads in your breaker box except your condensing unit and your indoor air handling unit. Then start the generator and try starting the AC via the Tstat in the house. Then slowly add loads once your ac it running. Wait for the AC to cycle on and off a few times before adding another load to the generator.
Have you installed the Soft Start Kit on your AC unit? Also I noted that you are using 30 Amps outlet on the generator. You should use a 50 Amps outlet and cable has to be 6 gauge wires, and Inlet box should be rated also for 50 Amps ..........
I was looking into getting the same generator. I have a Trane AC 5 ton unit with an LRA 134 and was wondering if it requires a soft start kit to turn on the AC compressor? I see you're running an AC with an LRA 148. Please advise.
⚠️Portable Generator Safety Tips: 1) KEEPING OTHERS SAFE: Please do not allow an unqualified person or your children to operate and service the portable generator. Just because some manuals don’t say that doesn’t mean it’s safe. That is important against the generator safety rules. We also need to be keeping an eye on our children too. You need to make sure that your children are not playing near the portable generator especially when it’s running so they won’t get electrocuted. Generators pose electrical risks and they can be hot during an operation. Please keep your children away from the portable generator at all times. It is important to keep our children safe especially our little ones. Be aware of all the hazards. 2) WHERE TO RUN YOUR GENERATOR: Some people use their portable generators indoors which increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s important to have a carbon monoxide if you have a gas generator. Never ever use your generator indoors even if your doors and windows are open and even in the garage is not safe to use a portable generator. Also please never use your generator in your deck or balcony. It is never safe to use your generator indoors and in enclosed areas of your home. Your generator needs to be 15-20 feet away from your house. 3)🔥FIRE HAZARDS: Never refuel your generator while it’s running. You need to let your generator cool off before refueling it and before storing your generator. Never overload your generator too. Never ever back feed your generator. You should never plug your generator into a wall outlet. Also never store propane tanks indoors. Please keep flammable things away from the generator as well and please don’t smoke cigarettes near the generator. Having a fire extinguisher next to the generator is also important against the generator safety rules. It’s also not safe to move your generator while it’s running. 4) GENERATOR OPERATION: make sure your hands are dry before touching the generator. Never use your generator in wet conditions. Don’t let your generator get wet. You need a generator tent if you need to use your generator during wet weather. Please don’t wear loose clothes when operating the generator. Turn on your generator before plugging in appliances. Use the right cord for your generator. Please do not use worn out cords. ua-cam.com/users/shortseFigDfnPkcQ?feature=share and here is a short video more about keeping others safe when using generators. Portable generators need maintenance so it’s important to follow the safety instructions. Hope this helps.
It would have been nice if you could show us there is not a soft starter kit installed. My AC central works but I needed a soft starter to get it going, my generator is a 9500w and works just fine

Agree, you should be using the 50 amp outlet with proper sized cable.
That’s what I’m doing next
Thanks for the video. I just ordered this Generator and was worried if it would run my 5 Ton AC. Now I know it will. Thnx!
Is it capable of running your 5 ton ac unit ? Because my ac unit can’t start up.
@@DroneJunkieRc it ran with no issues. I picked up a capacitor that’s used for a generator setup. I forgot the name to be honest

Thanks , that’s my next project to upgrade to 50AMP ,
My previous generator was 30amp ,

It would have been nice if you could show us there is not a soft starter kit installed. My AC central works but I needed a soft starter to get it going, my generator is a 9500w and works just fine
Are you using a soft start kit or not?
Man don't always believe what they say 5 ton AC that's a lot of air conditioner most say 14 kw and that's AC only
I'd like to know exactly what you did to get this to work because I have a 9500/12500 unit and I can't get my 5 ton ac to work
I have the same unit and my 5 ton ac can’t start up. Any ideas?
Me too. Kills the generator and light goes to yellow.
I have a 9500/12500 and it does NOT run my 5 ton ac. Would like to know what would.....
You probably gonna need soft starter, but first check your ac amp draw.
No need for a soft starter just install 50amp inlet and 6 gauge wire.
Your A/C may be a less efficient unit than his, having a larger in-rush, needing more power. Did you get it resolved?
Yes I have mine hookup for 2 years now just run a 50amp inlet with a 6 gauge wire and your unit will work.
Just don’t run the coffee maker, microwave, and iron at the same time.
Turned all off except the ac....won't start
No need for a soft starter just install 50amp inlet and 6 gauge wire.
Did you put a soft start kit on your AC unit
benz w 123 model car The cause and effect of vibration when the vehicle is in second gear can also help please
First what I would check is. drive shaft bearing, see my drive shaft video , make sure to make marks Before removal of bearing if it’s bad or loose,
@@slavik97 how many hours can that generator still working and last without breaking down or stopping
@@mr_korwagdy1257 sorry dont understand your question
@@slavik97 in another word, can that air conditioner work 24/7 with that generator
