A 3,200-watt generator can typically power a 15,000 BTU air conditioner, but it depends on the specific starting and running wattage of the unit. Most 15,000 BTU air conditioners require around 2,000 to 2,500 watts to run, but they can draw significantly more power (up to 3,500-4,000 watts) during startup. Therefore, if your generator can handle the startup surge, it should work; otherwise, you may need a larger generator. Always check the air conditioner's specifications for exact wattage requirements.
