So NextGen Generator, previously Generator would stop running with 2 zones AirC and water heater switched on. Now running only 2 zone AC for like 20 minutes, generator keeps ruining but the Whole Air Conditioner panel shuts off. Couldn’t reset it, so finally just turned off Generator. Can‘t help but wonder if these two issues are somehow related? Anyone have similar issues?
 
Simple math--
The next Gen generator produces 120 volts and a max of 30 amps.
My electric draws are: aft A/C 11 amps, for A/C 8.5 amps, A/C raw water pump 1.3 amps for at total of 20.8 amps. An A/C compressor draws more amps for a short period of time while starting.
This means you can run virtually nothing else using 120 vac. If you want to run the water heater (6.5 amps), Microwave (9.2 amps), coffee maker (12.5 amps), etc. you must turn off one of the A/C units while these other items are in use.
You must manage your power usage. Make a list of the A/C items on your boat with their current draw.
Hope this helps. Works for me. One more thing: The battery charger is also drawing current.
