BFRXLT,
The last post I headed with your handle was kinda like being on a road to no place. But folks are trying to be nice the best we can. So no one zoomed in on Old and Slow. Thanks men. My question was really concerning your find on Surge suppression for a genset even though most of us have a Chinese genny and not the Powermate. Maybe you can get the goose (me) out of the fog.
I use a power backup which has a battery designed to run the load during short outages and can also do many other things. It constantly monitors AC input and adjusts its output to predefined parameters. It will correct any out of range issues and output clean, pure steady voltage to whatever is plugged into it. The one I have was around $200.00 but it's better than buying another of the devices it is protecting. It is also very unlikely that it will be damaged by incoming AC irregularities. You can get one at any electronics store. Look for one that protects against over/under voltage, surges, and that corrects sine waves and cycles.
