When an air conditioner compressor starts up it draws a lot of current. (30 to 40 amps, 3kW to 4 kW). When running it consumes only about 6 A (600W). The hard start cap reduces the start current, but not fully. It may or may not work with a 2k generator. The micro-air is a controlled slow-start. It ramps the current for your AC. When you install it you have to start the AC five times in order to teach the slow start what the ramp is. I installed one, and it defiantly works with a 2k generator.

The advantage of using a slow-start is that you only need one generator (45 lbs) instead of a 3k (80 lbs), or two 2ks (90 lbs). You pays your quarter and you takes your choices.
