Best Answer

It depends on the compressor's total wattage. Watts = Amps x Volts. Find these values from the nameplate on the compressor. As the device is a motor extra current has to be available for the motor starting current. When you find your answer in watts allow another 150% for starting current.

Will A 3000 watt generator can run a 2 HP air conditioner?

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.
