some folks come online to complain, then never come back... too bad : /
this was probably more of operator error, or lack of knowledge of how these systems work... it's easy to 'blame' others, especially when someone makes a simple statement that somehow a 5500Onan 'can't' easily power two 13.5 Air Conditioners...bunk.
Also, many times folks have on many MORE items under power than they bring to light here... water heater, battery charger, tvs, satellite receivers, residential fridge, etc... so of course, there are times when we ALL have tripped breakers when we do this.
the code 36 seems to be a 'catch all' for Onan generators... my QD6000 has cut off several times, with no rhyme or reason... I just recrank it and it runs fine for hours and hours from then on...who knows why...
A) crank the gen
B) let it run for a few minutes
C) turn down/off the battery charger, elec water heater, etc
D) turn on each Air Conditioner only once the other has already got up to speed, leaving each 'blowing fan' on 'LOW'
E) don't expect to use the Microwave, a very high draw appliance, WHILE you are using the front air conditioner, or when you are using both air conditioners, even.... almost none of us have the same amount of 100amps of power(50amps both sides) when we are on our generators, usually HALF at best.
F) leave the Texas 'heat', or at least...
G) get in the shade
