In an earlier post, you (or someone else?) said that motors are known to draw more than their rated horsepower on start-up. That is true if applying full voltage when the motor is at a dead stop. For example, the blower in your furnace is powered up by applying full power via a relay. In your case, however, you will be slowly throttling up. You can easily keep the power below what the generator can provide as the poster below suggests.

Just don't run them up over 8kw each and it will work.
