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 ...

My plan is to pull the microwave sometime on my next days off.... I will check the voltage at that plug and make sure that there is no issues with the outlet.
I'll post the results once I have them.
OK just to be sure we have this straight:
High resistance wiring faults will NOT show up with a voltage measurement when no current if flowing.
You need to monitor the voltage at that outlet WHEN THE MICROWAVE FAILS. If the voltage going into the microwave when it fails does not drop significantly, then the microwave is bad.
OTOH, if the input voltage drops when the failure occurs.....and we already know that the generator voltage does NOT drop.....then you have a problem in the wiring.
My money is still on the old microwave.
