I am considering buying a skybox all in one inverter. I have an A/C with a high start load. I will probably get a soft start kit for it, but I don't think that will be enough. The skybox doesn't have a surge capacity so 5KW is it.
If I temporarily connect a 4KW inverter (8KW surge) to the generator input, would the skybox ADD the 8kw to its own 5kw and then have enough to start the A/C? Or does the skybox simply switch between the inputs?
I am told that the skybox can connect to the grid for addiitional starting power, but its not clear if it switches inputs or ADDs. By switching I mean that it has a relay that briefly connects the A/C to the grid for starting and then back once its running. By ADD, I mean it uses the grid to AC couple to the inverter, with the inverter supplying its max and the grid supplying the rest.
If not, is there a better/cheaper inverter that will work like that?
