Megawatt Inrush And Small Generators
In the interests of accuracy I have copied John Marles, comments verbatim and they appear below "Inrush is 50A/115VAC 50A/230VAC for a few milliseconds on the S-400 and S-350. Its controlled by due...

It corrects a BADLY warped pf. If it didn't there would be no capacitor start motors. WHERE IS THE INDUCTOR WE NEED AN INDUCTOR! Try the generator stator.
This is EXACTLY why I chose a military surplus KATO generator head. Per Kw the stator has about half again the number of windings. Bottom line conclusion: A huge reserve, cooler coils and higher efficiency. It comes with a huge price tag increase because the rotor needs to generate surplus flux to saturate the stator when called upon.
It's very easy to get lost in accepted practices like theory of RCL and come to the conclusion that "Well, that's a wrap". Small generators use a bare minimum of copper in the stator. One needs to actually connect an oscilloscope and analyze what is happening to waveform under duress.
"Golly gee I never figured lag in waveform could cause an inoperative condition, 'cause it isn't explained in books - I mean the theory of application".
Fifty amperes of inrush coupled to an entire fragile generation of waveform means NO WORKEE. Great. That's the problem. Even a fool can find a "problem". It's the resolution of a "problem" that is a challenge.
Throw Dogma a Bone(a) and keep searching :)
