Well upon running my new champion csa40015 to test it out i have noticed the voltage to be a little high at 128 volts.Freq is at about 62 unloaded and drops to around 60 with a 2000 watt load.( 1500 watt heater and 500 watt worklight).When loaded with the 2000 watt load voltage still stay's around 127.4 with my digital voltmeter( the intelligauge say's 128.2).Should i adjust the avr or is this voltage within a safe level?I did slow down the engine to see if it affectd voltage but it didn't appear to affect it.Even with the freq at or around 60 with no load voltage stayed around 128.Any and all input welcome. Thank's Shane
Monitoring grid voltage over the years at numerous locations (homes, work, etc.)I have noted voltages running as high as 134 with 129 typical at off peak hours. Other than incandescent light bulbs having a little less of a life expectancy, I doubt that 128 VAC will cause any damage.
But, it is an easy five minute process to remove the end cap from the gen head, loosen the AVR screws and flip it around so you can adjust the trim pot on the back. You might sleep better with it at 120 VAC.
