So I have a 2000w inverter that peaks at 4000w surge, and a 24v 100ah Redodo battery, I’m having trouble getting the compressor to kick on my window air conditioner unit that’s 12,000 BTU I looked in the manual and it’s peak amp rating is 49amps at 110/120v! That is almost 2000w surge more than my inverter is rated for and I can’t run it.. I looked into soft starters and hard starters to add on but a soft start kit is more $ ($300-$400) than I can afford because I’m living homeless off-grid, I will be trying to install a $12 hard start kit to the window AC unit hoping it might do the trick, and another thing is I have a 1hp water well pump and I can’t get enough surge wattage to get it going and I’m not sure how or if I could add a hard start kit to it also?.. if anyone knows what I can add or do to my system under $200 for both to work or add hard starts to everything let me know!
I’m willing to spend under $200 more into my system to get it to serge higher appliances, is there a way to add a cheaper soft starter kit and wire it into the AC line?
Just has to be under $200, $250 at most!
Or if there is another way to increase surge capacity after the inverter?
