N9 - Thanks for the good info. It makes sense that power can flow to the rail in an inverter and be absorbed by the cap, but it's never going to make it back to the alternator like it does in a conventional generator. And when the power feeds back, the inverter can compensate by delivering less of its own power to the rail. The the scope picture of the eu2000i powering the switching converter shows that it does a pretty darn good job of maintaining both the waveform and the peaks. I wonder if the cheaper inverter gensets do as good of a job on this, or if the output quality will be going down with the prices. I'm an EE but never worked with power supplies so it's really nice to have the detailed info available here.
