hoping that this isnt too far off topic, but has any one thought about wiring two 1200 watt Champion Generators together, simular to the way Honda does it with their 2000 watt generators
has been brought up, can't be done..the same way..
the honda's are "inverters" powered by a motor the syncing is in the electronics
the ''power pro's- elim-etc.." are standard mechanical generator heads , they would need to be physically aligned on the same shaft to be in phase/synced ( like the dynamo heads in a power dam run by a turbine )
Yes it can be done, but if done wrong you will know it in a big way. you can sync the wave form and then lock the two together ( the two generators will keep each other in sync once they are tied together). it can be done with light bulbs, but I will tell you that without training I would not. this is how in the grid they bring, or at least used to bring, a generator on line. doing it wrong is a sure way of getting everyones attention.
