Hi NLanders, I just bought 2 inverter ac, 1.5 hp and 2 hp but, I don't know which generator I should us. I have big generator but, some people are saying it can't carry the two ac.

On the carton of the AC the drew tiger generator and it clearly written that 1.5 hp runs on small 0.9kva generator.

Can my generator which is far bigger than small generator carry 1.5hp and 2 hp

See capacity of my generator

What type of AC and which Manufacturer? I am interested

use the bigger gen. Its 3.1KW = 3.8KVA

Even with lg gen cool inverter AC, (1HP – 0.9KVA, 1.5HP – 1.1KVA, 2.0HP – 1.5KVA),

I don't understand the calculation as I'm not conversant with these..

Did you see pictures or my Gen? Can it carry 2 hp and 1.5 hp AC at once ?

Don't try it ooo

Why? Can you please explain

The small gen is under 1kva if you do the math except you tune it to the highest speed, which is not advisable because the coil may eventually burn or spoil the Ac motor

First you need to understand this...Energy can neither be created not destroyed.
Inverter ac's are equipped with power electronics that literally converts AC power inputs into DC and then inverts them back into Ac that goes to the compressor. The advantages
1) It can run at variable input voltages and even at 'low currents' from Nepal
2) it doesn't require high starting current as compared to conventional ac.
3) it can work from 70 to 100% of it's capacity unlike conventional ac's that run at 100% only.

So for your case now:
For the 2acs to function optimally at 100% capacity, you need at least
1) 1.5hp ac will require 1.5kva
2) 2hp ac will require 2kva
Add both power requirements, you should have 3.5kva gen to run the both ac's.

Again, smaller gen like 2.5kva can equally power the two ac's without any issues on your gen but the ac's will only function at 70% of it's capacity

The big one will do. The small one will not. Which other language you wan make i talk am

Please how much did you buy the 1.5hp? I need it. Meanwhile have you been able to use the generator to power the two AC?
