BraveSir- That seems right for the compressor, it looks like there is also a 1/4 hp motor that starts with it?, not familiar with AC I live in Alaska. Then you have to add in the load of the house when the A/C is being started. There's a link on that page to a Generac sizing PDF. It...

Hello- I just googled "nec LRA single phase motors" this is the first hit http://www.generators.smps.us/sizing.html Does a good job of explaining what's happening. Rick

Hello- I'm a newb here but, I have a little experience with electric motors. In the picture you provided it shows the compressor having a LRA (Locked Rotor Amperage) of 91 amps I believe that is the starting current on single phase motors. 91 amps x 230 volts = 20930 watts to properly start...

Hello- The LED's on the XRF are responding to a change of state of the mag switches now. Don't know what I did differently? I have 2 transmitters on zone 17 & 18. The LCD keypad now says "not ready" "intrusion trouble" "violated zone 17" or "18" regardless of the state the transmitter is in...

Hello- Not silly for me! M1 Gold Hardware= 0.11 Boot Version= 3.2.2 Firmware Version= 4.4.10 Voice list= 0.8 The status light on the receiver is 1 second orange. Could the batteries in the transmitters all be dead, I don't see an off on switch? Thanks- Rick
