Using 240V AC may help with that.

We had trouble where the generator had way more load on one hot leg than the other.  It ran rough and stalled often.

The only reason you might have trouble is the air conditioning starting load.  I have seen them cause a generator to stall and die before.

We're shopping for a generator for one of our larger POP's.  The electrical contractor is recommending this:

https://www.generac.com/all-products/generators/home-backup-generators/guardian-series/22kw-7043-whole-house-switch-wifi-enabled

This would be supporting 4 30A circuits (powering 4 APC UPS) that are currently drawing about 30A between them (powering network gear and servers).  There is also one of the on-wall indoor/outdoor air conditioners in this room - unsure what it's drawing.

The contractor also seems to think that this generator, with a second transfer switch can power the remainder of the small building which includes some lighting, a refrigerator and some small electronics like PC's, etc.

Can someone who actually knows something about generators and this kind of stuff give me some advice here?  Will this generator support our load and not fall over?

Thanks!
