My guess is the Sanyo presents a complex load.
Indoor unit:
Outdoor unit:
These diagrams aren't very detailed, but I get the feeling that both PCBs
have diode & cap inputs. The PCBs take th 230VAC and make DC to use.
None of the motors in the indoor unit looks like an AC motor.
The only thing I can see that might be AC operated is the crankcase heater.
