Make sure to get one that is the correct size for your unit.

They don't make them that big.

i install soft starts on my window units at the camp. it's easier on the generator when the compressor kicks in.

A 4-ton unit is going to pull about 20 amps or 4800w at 240v, not a problem to find a portable gen to run that. The problem is the starting load will be roughly 5 times that.
