I installed an Houghton 9500 air conditioner from RecPro on my 2022 Escape 21c. I have two Yamaha EF 2000iS generators that I connected in parallel to power the Dometic air conditioner on my previous Bigfoot trailer.
I was hoping I could power the Houghton 9500 with only one of the generators.
The Houghton 9500 is rated 1590 watts for max power draw and 1370 watts for cooling.
The Yamaha EF 2000iS is rated 2000 surge watts, and 1600 rated watts.
On paper, it looks like the generator should be able to power the 9500 air conditioner.
I put the Progressive EMS in Bypass Mode. I turned off the circuit breaker powering the WFCO converter, and fridge was off.
When the air conditioner compressor came on, there was a LOUD, RAPID clicking sound from the area of the WFCO converter. I quickly shut off the air conditioner. During the loud clicking, power to the air conditioner was greatly reduced.
Any ideas what the clicking sound was? What was happening?
