If you're planning to use the air conditioner in hot weather, you'll have to address the voltage drop condition. The inrush current at start, will be a lot higher than 1300 watts and the voltage drop, will be a lot higher. The AC compressor will probably not even start.
I made my real living as an electrician, so I'm not a stranger to these problems.
