Can One Generator be Shut Off When Wired In Parallel with Another Generator
Question:
I already have a AI 2000 generator and plan to order another so I can parallel them together for my 13500 btu air conditioner. Is it possible to turn one of them off once the AC has gone through its start up phase? Reason, save gas and reduce the noise.

When run in parallel with a second A-iPower Inverter Generator # 289-SUA2000I you can indeed shut the second generator off while continuing to run the AC unit with just the first generator. You will just want to make sure that the running power output (1,600 watts) of this generator is enough to run the air conditioner. When run in parallel the two A-iPower Generators will provide a starting power output of 3,800 watts.
