I'm in a couple of Camping/Boondocking groups and they often mention a 'soft-start' device for A/C, which reduces the start-up load on the generator. This, in turn, allows for a smaller generator.
I was just wondering - would replacing the start-up capacitor (or supplementing the original) with a larger capacitor achieve the same goal? Or is there a point of diminishing return on start-up capacitance?
Again, just curious. The A/C in my camper starts just fine.
