My champ gets a work out everyday with that converter
I am well aware of the load into and the amps charging
The mw is less load than the converter
But I can do a cup of water with each one just to check load and sound, and have as equal a test as you can get with generators that have different peak voltage
Also I have a meter/test box much better than a kill-a-watt
One that shows amps volts and watts all at the same time
And the watts display can be cycled to show the COSIGN AKA Power Factor
One constructed to be used with generators or shore power, 20 amp or 30 amp plug in
I saw that Honda do 1967.xx (122.8v × 16.xx amps) computed VA while showing almost 1500 (1465.x) watts on the watt display with a PF of 0.745
I have seen similar numbers when testing the champ
This was not meant to prove one better than the other
Just an unusual chance to make some quick observations
One thing I really like about this champ is
It will trip the circuit breaker instead of doing an inverter over load, which means I do Not have to do a generator shut down restart cycle, no the champ will not start my AC
