Disconnect load before stopping generator?
The topic says it all. This is in the rule book for several brands of generators. Its not in the book for my Yamaha, but Champion and Predator both mention it. So my question is... lets say you run...

Field forcing is a generator killer. My little KATO has six 1000PIV 150 amp rated rectifiers which is overkill times 4 the maximum possible field primary exciter potential. But the Delco H9000 regulator ramps down softly as it approaches 55 Hz. No free lunches it is still bad for the loads when an uncontrolled spin-down occurs.
I still unload the generator before shutdown and it has a turbo prtection 5-minute timer borrowed from a White Freighliner chassis.
