What, no hood stack? Pass.

Looks like it's running a little hot also. My 300SD rarely goes past 175.

Re: [MBZ] Generators and Mini-Splits, Anyone Know?

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

I can't comment on all these new electronic (GFCI/AFCI, etc.) breakers but
old time breakers had a trip curve (e.g.:
https://www.electriciantalk.com/attachments/type-b-jpg.52369/).  The breaker
was guaranteed to trip just above the rated current but only after hundreds
or thousands of seconds.  On the other hand many times (like 50x) the rated
current could pass for a few milliseconds without tripping the breaker.
Most breakers would pass 3-5x the rated current for a couple seconds before
tripping.  All this makes sense when you realize these numbers are
sufficient to protect the wires.  Fuses are a whole different animal.

What is the error tolerance on the Ampere rating on a circuit breaker?

Maybe your 15A breaker is allowing a little more than that, and the
recommeded 20 assumes that the actual breaker might trip a little lower.
There must be a little headroom on the required rating, so that people don't
complain that their breakers are always tripping off.

Re: [MBZ] Generators and Mini-Splits, Anyone Know?

The running amps are around 7-8.
But the starting amps are (very briefly) 47 plus whatever the fan draws.
I'm not surprised that a 20A time delay breaker can handle it, but it 
seems the 15A fast blow isn't as instant as I might have assumed it to 
be.

The LRA (locked rotor amps) on my 1.5T are 47.
I do not know why I can start it on a fast blow 15A breaker.
The install instructions demand a 20A HACR (slow blow HVAC) breaker.
Maybe the start kit helps?
What would really help is a 'slow start kit'.
Hard start kits don't reduce LRA, they just reduce the time for amps to 
drop.
The 5-2-1 kits are considered the superior hard starts, but slow start 
makes it ramp up like an inverter drive.

I don't have broad experience here, but a 3kw generator hardly notices a
9000BTU Fujitsu inverter unit.
Before I obtained a proper 20A HACR breaker, I ran my 1.5T traditional split
unit (with 3 wire hard start kit) on the 15A fast blow breaker that had
previously served the Fujitsu. No problem running the 1.5T with a 5kw/11hp
generator.

This is good to know. I have little to no experience with mini-splits as

Maybe I need a peak-reading ac ammeter.  That's probably the only way to know.  
Or maybe I can find some data online.  My generator has no problem running the 
water heater (which is totally unnecessary) but that's a pure resistive load.

These mini-splits do not send line power direct to the compressor motor but to 
an inverter that generates variable frequency AC which drives the motor.  My 
recollection is that the compressor starts at a slow speed and then ramps up to 
a steady state based on the thermal demand.  My basic unit (like 17 SEER) uses 
a fixed expansion orifice so the compressor (and blower) speeds are modulated 
to achieve the target superheat and subcool.  The higher SEER units use 
electric thermal expansion valves.

I have one room (my office) that heats and cools poorly and I suspect I can 
install a high efficiency mini-split cheaper than reworking the duct work.  
Also it might still work on the generator if the power goes out..

Just off the cuff I would suspect it could run a couple of them without too 
much effort. You would need to determine what the code letter of the compressor 
motor is to get an accurate idea. This would apply especially if they don’t 
start simultaneously, which might be a bit much even for a 15kW unit, depending 
on what other loads are present. I would think it wouldn’t have much of a 
problem starting them one at a time.

[MBZ] IPCC's Gold-Standard Temperature Data: Last 7.25 Years World Has Been Cooling

[Craig via Mercedes]

https://www.c3headlines.com/2021/07/ipccs-gold-standard-temperature-data-last-725-years-world-has-been-cooling-those-stubborn-facts-.html

IPCC's Gold-Standard Temperature Data: Last 7.25 Years World Has Been
Cooling

The UK's global land and ocean dataset of temperature measurements
confirms there has been a 7 year and 3 month span of cooling, as of the
end of month, June 2021. Plus, the correlation between the global temps
and atmospheric CO2 levels is negative for that period: -0.036

Re: [MBZ] Decent? Price a little high -- 2005 Mercedes ML350 Good Shape! - $4, 995 (Lexington)

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

I'd say it's priced a bit optimistically, but not wildly so especially if it 
has service records.

I paid less for my XC90 that had lower miles and is newer, but needed new rear 
wheel bearings and had some other cosmetic flaws.

Re: [MBZ] Generators and Mini-Splits, Anyone Know?

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Just off the cuff I would suspect it could run a couple of them without too 
much effort. You would need to determine what the code letter of the compressor 
motor is to get an accurate idea. This would apply especially if they don’t 
start simultaneously, which might be a bit much even for a 15kW unit, depending 
on what other loads are present. I would think it wouldn’t have much of a 
problem starting them one at a time.

[MBZ] Generators and Mini-Splits, Anyone Know?

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

I know most generators can't run a conventional AC/Heat Pump because of the
high compressor startup currents except (maybe) with a soft-start kit.

I wondered about mini-split systems.  These are smaller size and seem to
"ramp up" in speed which seems like it should moderate the high start-up
currents.  

The 12K BTU unit I installed in my barn only uses a 10 amp breaker and the
equivalent 240v model is rated at only 5 amps per phase.

So I suspect my generator (15KW, 60 amp/phase) could run a couple of these
mini-split heat pumps.  Does anyone know?  As I recall, Dan had expertise in
this area (or am I thinking of someone else?).

The E500 is a “4Mati”, too! The driver’s seat looks pretty thrashed for only
