Since watts are equal to volts times amps it is hard to say if a 2000 watt generator will be enough. If you know the amperage of the A/C then using the formula Amps = Watts/ Volts. 2000/110 = 18 amps. If the A/C draws more that 18 amps then a 2000 watt generator will not be large enough. To find the generator size you will need, just use the same formula and try different generator wattages until you find one that is about 5 amps higher than the A/C amps.

∙ 7y agoTo answer this question the amperage of the air conditioner must be stated. The amperage when found is then multiplied by the voltage output of the generator. This will give you the true wattage of the motor.
A rule of thumb is that 1 horsepower equals 746 watts. by this rule the generator will start and operate the motor.

What capacity generator is needed to start a 5 ton Air Conditioner?
35kva
What can happen if you connect a 60 hertz air conditioning unit to a 50 hertz generator?
Probable the air conditioner doesn't work well.
How many items can you connect to a 4500 watt portable generator during an power outage?
The number of items you can connect to a 4.5 kW generator circuit depends on the items available and on the importance of each item. A refrigerator should be plugged in first, followed by lights. Maybe ten lights; since your generator will need ample reserve to keep from stalling when the refrigerator cycles over. A fan may be operated; but an air conditioner would likely be out of the question.
Does an electric stove consumes more electricity than an air conditioner?
The fan motor takes a lot less power than the compressor pump in an air conditioner. If you have a plug-in system you can use a plug-in "Kill-a-Watt�" meter (for around 25 dollars) to measure the watts (or amps) in each mode and determine how much power each one uses.
Is it more economical to run a 110v window air conditioner at night than to keep using your 220v air conditioner?
Use the air conditioner whose product of votage X amps is the lowest if you want to pay the least to operate.
Will a 1000 watt generator run a 5000 btu air conditioner?
yes
Can a 2000 watt run a camper air conditioner?
Not really. A 2000W generator will give you about 10 amps. Your normal RV air conditioner will draw 12-15.
How does RV air conditioner work?
An RV air conditioner works much like an air conditioner in any vehicle. It has a compressor and a condenser that operate in concert to cool the air. In an RV, the air conditioner runs off of a generator when the engine is off.
What capacity generator is needed to start a 5 ton Air Conditioner?
35kva
Can a 120V generator run a camper's air conditioner?
Well all generators with a few exceptions produce 120 volts. What will determine if a generator will run your air conditioner is the number of watts the generator will put out. You need to learn the wattage needed by the air conditioner and also learn the max watts put out by the generator you have (Assuming you have one already) it the generator produces more watts that needed by the AC unit you are good to go. Not on the other hand if the generator you have dose not produce enough watts or you do not have one then it is a matter of buying a generator with the wattage required by the AC unit in your camper. Now if you are going to buy one I would also determine what else you would like to run from the generator (in addition to the air conditioner. Figure out the watts need by these items add them together with the watts needed by the AC unit. Then buy a generator big enough for your needs.
Where is the air conditioner drain?
You have to ask your dealer. In a Chrysler Voyager 97 it is placed beneath the generator.

How much does a replacement heat pump cost for an air conditioner?
Replacement heat pump costs for an air conditioner can vary depending on the model of the conditioner. The lowest expected price is at least $500 but may rise to around $3000;
What can happen if you connect a 60 hertz air conditioning unit to a 50 hertz generator?
Probable the air conditioner doesn't work well.
What appliances will a 3500 watt generator run?
Normally speaking, a 3500 watt generator can typically power appliances such as refrigerator (500-800 watts), laptop (50-100 watts), television (100-400 watts), stereo system (200-400 watts), air conditioner (1,000-2,000 watts), electric stove (1,000-2,500 watts), lights (50-100 watts). It's important to check the specific power requirements of your appliances as they can vary.
How much would it cost for you to run a 5000-watt air-conditioner for 30 minutes at 12 cents per hour?
6 cents
Can you use an amcor kf9000e portable air conditioner to cool a truck?
