Gen power transfer issue
The appliances are not powering up as quickly as they have been after starting my gen. Usually after a couple " coughs", they would go on. Now it's about 8-9 coughs , then they activate. Don't reall...

Hi,
As a generator "spins down" the wave form it sends gets wonky and the voltage is too low. Motors and inductive devices do not appreciate that kind of abuse.
According to one of the regulars here, the Champion 3400 inverter generator with remote electric start, does "cut" the power before it spins down. My Pinella remote doesn't do that on my Yamaha 2800.

I have always been told to turn off AC appliances before shutting off the generator. Not a science guru so can't tell you why .. but can say I have never heard anyone say otherwise.
