Have a question for the electrical gurus.
I have a Honda EU2000i generator, and am thinking of getting a Companion and paralleling them. I don't like the GROUND wire that is on the paralleling kit because it takes a screwdriver to attach. Is ...

To answer the question of how the generators "could" synchronize, the logic board could start the unloaded beta generator out at a slightly higher speed. Voltage is compared. If there is potential between phases the logic circuit could wait until the differential disappears (in synch paralleled). Then it latches loads. By alternating sample inputs between alfa and beta, the twinned generators could micro see-saw their way in uniformity of sine wave and load sharing.
I am quite certain Honda's protocol is protected like the family jewels. Proprietary unmarked integrated circuits, the whole bit.
In 1977 a self synchronization system at the Washoe Medical Center in Reno NW went awry and cross paralleled a pair of V12 Caterpillar generators. The result was a hole in a concrete wall a railroad box car would have fit through.
