SPYDERLK said:True, but 240V gens dont work that way. Full rated power is only available from the 240. 6500/240 = 27.5 is the amps available. Only half power will be available from each 120V leg of the spit since the gen will be fused to protect its windings from current over 27.5A. That compressor will never start on the 120V output of that 240V gen.

Bingo. Saved me some typing.
