Open Frame Vs Inverter With Heavy Loads
I'm trying to get a handle on the noise level of an open frame generator vs 2 inverter gens in parallel (Champion 3500/4000 and 1700/200). My AC load with the gen on is 16-18 amps or so. I'm trying...

The plot thickens.
Yamaha and Honda both claim a rated load noise level close to 60 db for their 2KW units. I have not found a rated load noise level published for the Champion 2KW units, but I would expect a number in the same ballpark. It's possible that either my test was bad or the generator has a problem. I 'll test more when I can and I've sent an email to Champion asking if the the noise level should be much more that 60 db under a heavy load.
If one of these runs close to 60Db at full load then a pair of 2KW inverters is a no brainer....
