I recently received two KILLAVOLT modules for evaluation and testing. I kept one and sent the other to fellow thread member Jaustin, who recently had an AVR fail on his DuroPower generator. I do not know if John has had an opportunity to test his module or not (comments John?)

As some may remember, I have a much-modified DuroPower genset. It came semi-enclosed, but I have enclosed it further and naturally had to add forced ventilation. A cooling fan on the AVR/alternator failed, failing the AVR, and what the Professor describes above really does happen (the DuroPower has no over-voltage protection)! The voltage shot up in a flash! Fortunately, I was standing right there when it happened and got everything shut down before damage resulted (also, fortunately, I didn't have any electronics going at the time).
The KILLAVOLT is exactly as described, just plug it in a 110 outlet and connect the wire to the low oil sensor wire and that's it! Much like a GFCI, there's a test button to push to see if it's really working. I haven't "tested" it in the extreme with another AVR failure, but hopefully, I won't go there! HA!
