amazon.com: easystart micro-air 368 advanced soft starter (asy-368-x72-blue), air conditioner soft start works with generator, start air conditioners at less power, home and commercial use, 6 ton compressor : home & kitchen

I've added picture of the generator that I own and the setup with the 30 amps outlet box and 40 amps ciruit breaker and interlock kit in the breaker box of my house.
It was easy the hardest part was in drilling the hole to get the cable into the area with the capacitor and all the other cables and then mounting EasyStart onto AC condenser unit and that's really because I did not have the correct drill bit.
I ended up doing it to support the 30 amp outlet on my generator and after doing some research I then discovered that maybe I should have done it to use the 50 amp output so as to operate everything in my house, including my AC unit.
Sure enough, the 30 amp outlet would indeed allow everything the house to fire up nicely everything BUT my AC unit.
On the other hand, AC unit does require large amperage for startup and this is why my generator could not handle it.
I was convinced that the 50 amp output was needed for this 50 amp circult breaker, 6 gauge wires for the installation, and power cords to support 50 amps from the genrator to the house ( and if you've never seen such power cord before.
I first wanted to install Soft Starter on AC Condenser and testing it out using my 30 amps seup..
My refrigerator - Yes, My Garage door - Yes, My microwave - Yes, All my 120V outlets, my Wifi, my ceiling fan - ALL Yes and YES, YES.
I'll install EasyStart Micro-Air 368 Advanced Soft Starter to all my AC units in any future homes that I end up getting..
I ALWAYS keep and capacitor and fan in my house seeing that these are the typical components that end up being issue with AC condensers.
