Can I Start And Run An Ac Unit With A 2,200W AC Pure Sine Wave Inverter

Question:

Suggestions on best if any rv air conditioners sold by etrailer that could startup and function using a Bluetti 200Max having a 2,200W AC Pure Sine Wave Inverter 4,800W Surge. Heating and cooling an uninsulated five window schoolie? Thanks for your support

Hello David. A 2,200W inverter would allow you to run an AC unit but you would not be able to start one. For example the Advent 13,500 BTU AC # ASA56YR requires 3,000 watts for starting and 1,000 watts while running. We do not offer anything that will start on 2,200W.
