eco switch and fuel consumption
Hi, We all know that inverter generators have an economy setting for low demand. Usually 1/4 of "full blast". As demand goes up to say 50% does the eco switch allow the engine to run at 1/2 spee...

Inverter generators only run as fast as necessary for the load. More load = more speed = more fuel consumption.
Lots of non-inverter generators also have an eco switch. These units operate differently. As soon as any load is placed on the gen. it throttles up to 3,600 RPM and stays there until the load goes away. Even in this situation, fuel usage will still increase with load. The more load the more fuel is necessary to maintain 3,600 RPM
