Lights dim with swamp cooler.

What can be done to alleviate this momentary voltage drop?
Thanks
Do you have a way to measure the current drawn by the motor? If you can measure the current , you can put some oil filled capacitors in parallel with the motor and find a combination that minimises the current. -In other words correct the power factor. This may or may not be enough to reduce the momentary voltage drop to a level that is acceptable. But will help.
Capacitors can be found in junk microwave ovens.
