If over voltage is a concern, spend the $39.95 for a KILLAVOLT and use the surge protectors as a second line of defense.
So the Killavolt monitors the voltage the genny is producing and if it senses an overvoltage condition it shuts the genny off. But I think I remember reading in this thread oh, about a couple of hundred pages ago:D , that you shouldn't shut the genny down with a load on it because that causes an overvoltage (iirc because of the field collapsing?) that could damage equipment hooked up to the genny. Am I remembering this wrong, or do we have a catch 22 here since the Killawatt doesn't shed the load but rather just shuts the genny down?
