Sorry but much of this is new to me. What is PFC? Thanks.
Power factor correction. It means your generator uses less power to run it than without PFC. Which means you can run a bigger amp PFC unit on the generator you have before maxing it out. Also means you can plug the 120v into a 15a circuit and not need a 20a circuit to run it like you do with high amp (over 60a) converters that are non-PFC.
So you could run the PFC 75 amper with about the same generator power as the non-PFC 60 amper and the 75 is only $10 more than the 60 in this case.
