@SXMScubaman - how long have you been around SXM

? When I hear the words "properly installed" in the islands they are usually accompanied by a negation of some sort in the same sentence. But in this case the generator didn't have a problem, the A/C compressors did. Probably a severe brownout and before the generator could kick in the amperage in the A/C compressor blew coils/windings/capacitors and required an expensive repair.
