Microwave / Generator issues.......
I recently acquired a Honeywell (Generac) 2000 watt inverter generator which seems to be in really nice shape, (and a hell of a lot quieter than my big old Champion). The gen starts really easy, puts ...

Hi Chris,
Yes, and at a high frequency and voltage. Here is what Honda says:
"First, the generator's alternator produces high voltage multiphase AC power. The AC power is then converted to DC. Finally the DC power is converted back to AC by the inverter. The inverter also smooths and cleans the power to make it high quality. A special microprocessor controls the entire process, as well as the speed of the engine."

The primary source is most likely not a generator rather an alternator. Rectified 3-phase? If so, it would have to have an exciter for field current. Controlled field current to maintain secondary output. in short, a voltage regulator. If field current was properly controlled, a bummer of an inverter generator could have a "makeover" and become a substantial battery charger.
It's always been my understanding that the Honda EUs generated 3 phase power- no solid knowledge though.
