Adding VAs Gen Running Things Question
I had the gen out again doing a few tests. One thing that I don't understand is this: RV fridge on 120v (a heater) by itself VA (and watts same) 355 MW by itself 1426 (watts 1340--was some PF wi...

Two possible factors:
(1)Could it be that the voltage is lower with both devices running together?
(2)With a small generator, running the microwave will result in the waveform changing. More so if it's not an inverter generator. Adding a resistive load results in lessening the waveform corruption. Can see this only with a scope. Measuring each device individually while both are running might yield a small clue or two.
