Generator question

[nycsteve]

I know theres a device that you put between a generator and the device being powered that "cleans" the power as not to ruin delecate electronics . What is it called? Im in the market but cant find options because I dont know what they're called.
I need to clean the power from a 3000 watt contractor genny.Any suggestions on product or source would be welcome.

UPS and they continue to provide power when the gen is shut down.

UPS

Depending on the load, just plug your sensitive toys into a decent UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). They'll never know the source is a genny. Obviously, this will also prevent sudden power loss and potential spikes to sensitive toys if the genny dies.

Most of those "delicate" electronic devices run on smooth DC provided by a robust brick that will convert miserable AC into the appropriate DC just fine. In general the output of a generator is a natural sine wave.

Hi- Do what the more expensive generator's do- install an inverter. It will change the generator O/P to perfect 60 Hz 120 V AC power. It can be expensive.
