Hi So,
I don't have a dmm with an analog scale--i.e. no "needle".
I do have a kill-a-watt (pre power factor). I observe no voltage drop at all with a 1500 watt load on the Yamaha 3000 iSEB. I do observe voltage drop on starting the air conditioner, especially in eco mode. I have seen 97 volts which concerns me.
My "habit" is to start the generator in non eco mode, then start the air conditioner, then switch to eco mode.
Would a "hard start" capacitor mitigate the voltage drop?
