Did some more testing tonight Dan.
-The AC outlet appears to be a standard style duplex (both outlets in paral)
-I loaded down the AllPower with a ceramic heater, couple halogen lamps, and another 100w light. Measured voltage/hz/wt via KillAWatt
-With a 400-500w load it actually sounds like it's running lower rpm's than with no load.
-around 1600w didn't seem to be a problem, altho I didn't leave it run very long at that, it is 20deg or so here yet.
-I turned everything on, at about 1800w my KillAWatt started flashing, but gen kept producing AC and no overload led.
(on a side note, the ceramic heater didn't act like a instant 1500w resistive load I thought it would, it would start at lower wattage like 900 then kept increasing)
So with everything I had plugged in, turned on, I watched the wattage increase with the heater on. At around 1900w the Red over load led would light, and right around 2kw it would shut down the output. After about 5 seconds, it reset itself and everything would power back up.
Noise level def louder than the little ETQ800. Most of the noise from the AP is from the plastic case and gets really bad at certian RPM's. Seems the worst area is right around the gas tank neck, the case might be hitting here so I may open up that hole a bit. Otherwise the noise seems to be coming from the seam of the 2 case sides.
