I recall the first portable Generator I ever bought. A Generac 1000. A True 1,000 watt enclosed Generator. Noise and fuel consumption comparable to a Honda EU-2000i but only 1,000 watts and .. much lower in cost. I liked that genny and would love to get it back and send the legs it grew to the hotel graybar.
But when it was new some of my Electronics "Objected" to the output waveform
After a tank of Gas.. No further objections (The tank was feeding a light)
WHY: Well it is not just the fuel. There are a few electronic parts that need exercise. also brushes. slip rings and the like need to be polished from time to time. Exercise does that. Sitting in the box on the shelf in the store.. No Exercise.
