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.

What capacity generator is needed to start a 5 ton Air Conditioner?
A 5 ton Air Conditioner typically requires a generator with a starting wattage of around 10,000 to 12,000 watts to accommodate the initial surge of power needed at startup. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications for the exact power requirements of the specific model of the Air Conditioner.
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.
What can you run on a 900 watt generator?
A 900 watt generator can typically run small appliances such as a refrigerator, fans, lights, computer, and some power tools. It may not be able to power larger appliances like air conditioners or washing machines. It's important to check the specific power requirements of each device before connecting them to the generator.
What can you power off a 1200 watt generator?
A 1200 watt generator can typically power small appliances such as a refrigerator, microwave, computer, TV, lights, and fans. It may not be able to power larger appliances like air conditioners or washers and dryers. Be sure to check the specific power requirements of your appliances to ensure they can be safely powered by the generator.
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.
Will a 8000 BTU air conditioner run on a 900 watt generator?
An 8000 BTU air conditioner typically requires between 700 to 1000 watts to operate, depending on its efficiency and design. A 900-watt generator may be able to power the air conditioner during startup, but it might struggle to maintain operation, particularly if the AC draws more power initially. Additionally, the generator's continuous output capacity should be considered, as running the AC at or near the generator's maximum output can lead to overloading and potential damage. It's advisable to use a generator with a higher wattage capacity for reliable operation.
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.
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.
