electric issues

My parts manual shows a transformer regulator. Is that the same as voltage regulator ?

Just plugged in a table lamp with 65 watt flood light and getting 115volts. Turned off lamp and stayed at 115volts

Boondocker specs say ok up to 130v input.

EDIT--looks like Doug was right (as usual) about that voltage regulator.

140 volts from the generator isnt to high at the plug?

EDIT--ok based on your last posts--you have some sort of "issue" with the gen power, so don't run your microwave or anything except on inverter or shore power. Sorry to say, you will need some tech shop work on that gen problem (perhaps from the surge incident.)
-----------

On gen power, don't yet plug in the microwave or anything expensive, just plug in say a table lamp with a 60 or 100w bulb in it. If it works ok, then you might get brave and try the microwave etc.

Meanwhile you still need a 10 amp or whatever battery charger to get by until your next converter arrives. If you have a battery charger now, you could see if that works ok on generator power, so you can be in business for 12v (including 120v on inverter from battery) on battery while getting 120v for the other things from gen, inverter, or shore power.

Hard to say if you are out of the woods yet wrt that gen or transfer switch. We still don't know what fried the converter.

If you have solar, you can get by a little longer without needing a battery charger, but not for long usually. (Cloudy days) Always carry a 10 amp or so battery charger along just in case )

i never had a problem with the generator before the power surge here at the house. i could run it all day and not have any issues including running the AC.

started about 130 volts then jumped to about 140-147 volt

110v on the plug outlets

Got it last Dec. Have to check the 110v at the plug still

Check that 110v quality for sure. On the warranty, Randy is good for anything reasonable. But of course you need to find the problem before frying another one. We can help if you can give us details as asked for.
