Eh. Maybe not. 5 tons of AC is 17.52 kw. You need a smaller house. Or an enormous gen set. Rick From: mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: July 28, 2022 4:24 PM To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Reply-to: mercedes@okiebenz.com Cc: rickkno...@hotmail.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Genny worth messing with? Put

Won’t start his 4 ton AC unit. Inrush would kill it. A soft start cap might help, but it would be borderline. -D > On Jul 28, 2022, at 4:41 PM, Jim Cathey wrote: > >  >> >> Yes, it’s worth messing with but would likely not be adequate to run your >> whole house. > > 17.5kW would run us.

J series water cooled unit, 17.5 RDJC. Sort of the 240D of the Onan product line at the time, with the air cooled diesel (DJC) being the pinnacle and the water cooled variant (RDJC) being close behind. Yes, it’s worth messing with but would likely not be adequate to run your whole house. -D
