the moment the Generator is up to 120v, the ATS INSTANTLY switches from the Shore Power 120v to the Generator 120v, and therefore the air conditioner, if it really even cares, knows NO DIFFERENT... it just keeps running.

But the contacts in the ATS know the difference because of the high current arcing across them. The more often the ATS switches with high current load, the more often you have to replace it.
