So i have that 8k midea and while that pic doesn’t list a starting watts, as far as i can tell from watching on a power meter there is NO start ‘surge’ or at least not one that goes over the normal max running watts. I assume this is the case on mini splits as well and have been considering that to be one of the major advantages of running an incerter ac.. off of an inverter. ? You dont have to size the inverter for a peak load that only happens 1% of the time.
Also, down here in south texas where it has hit 108f so far, i saw my midea 8k hit 1000w at times. I rarely run it on highest settings but it makes sense that inverter units would be no better or slightly worse efficiency at max output since more conversions are happening.
