Well upon running my new champion csa40015 to test it out i have noticed the voltage to be a little high at 128 volts.Freq is at about 62 unloaded and drops to around 60 with a 2000 watt load.( 1500 watt heater and 500 watt worklight).When loaded with the 2000 watt load voltage still stay's around 127.4 with my digital voltmeter( the intelligauge say's 128.2).Should i adjust the avr or is this voltage within a safe level?I did slow down the engine to see if it affectd voltage but it didn't appear to affect it.Even with the freq at or around 60 with no load voltage stayed around 128.Any and all input welcome. Thank's Shane
Mine was a little high as well, around 124V out of the box.
I figure I will live with that, but 130V I would be adjusting.
Depending on how you connect your loads to the generator, your voltage will drop a bit too (measure voltage at the load, not at the generator to see what I mean). If you have a 50' extension cord, there will be a couple volts dropped through the cord if you are pulling say 10 amps.
