problem is Not the copper windings
residual magnetism of the core could fail from heat fatigue
but as long as there was enough to 'excite' the core on startup the generator would continue to make power
a likely cause of failure is the 'diode & capacitor' used to supply the Dc field of the armature winding, heat is a killer of cheap capacitors, lack of field strength would mean lower output voltage
we are not there, we do not even know if it is maintaining full 3600 RPM's
any change/loss of speed would reduce power/voltage and watts
how big is the charger/converter ? being powered by the genset
Exactly my point. Not enough info given to even help. To just say 'get a red or blue' generator does not help this guy.

A lot of people have been happy with these.
Then they should be posting here.
People that buy these are not likely RV-ers, probably don't even know this place exists. All the RV'ers here like quiet Red and Blue generators. There's posts on this generator on survivalist websites, and on HF itself.
