We have different thermostats so we'll David to weigh in here as he has what you have. Two points though, I could never run 3 ac's on the generator. One would always overload the system and automaticity shut one down. When I manually start any of mine, the motor starts first pulling about five amps. Then about five minutes later, the compressor kicks in and a momentary spike of thirty amps happen and the system settles in at 12-15 amps steady state.

Good stuff
Yours works like I think it should, except the overload condition. Motor starts fan only, compressor pulls in after delay with a little spike.
Mine can be started under a load resulting in a locked rotor!
Not good...
