Onan 4.0 BFA - Hot Rodded! But...
OK. "Hot Rodded" might be just a wee bit of an exaggeration, but... I'm pretty proud of my tuning job... regardless of the lack of any real skill required. So I began to notice the old '86 Onan...

Seems odd to me that the hZ at a higher voltage is lower than at a lower voltage.
Ah, but I didn't say that. I'm going off of memory a bit, but I had stated that voltage was up, but frequency still "remains near 60." It's a hair over, but not by much. I doubt even 61. Definitely nowhere near 63, though.
Yes, with the book saying that 132V and 63 hz are at the top of the tolerances... one would ASSume that 132V should get you around 63V. But it doesn't. That's a little odd, yes. But I'm not going to stress about it. I think I'm good on cycles.
The concern is more in regard to anything hard-wired or plugged in to a 132V circuit.
However, bear in mind that this voltage only occurs when I'm running 'er at somewhere near 3300W or so. This will very rarely happen in everyday camping. At most it could happen when we're running the A/C and then flip on the microwave. But how long is that going to last?
First off, we almost never use the microwave. Secondly, if we did, it wouldn't be for long. And afterward the voltage would drop right back down to around 128.
