Paralleling Yamaha 4500W and Honda 2000W
Anybody know if I can parallel my Yamaha 4500W inverter genny to one or both of my Honda's? I assume different brands of inverter genny's will sync. My new fifth wheel will have two A/C's and neithe...

My best hopefully educated guess, taking absolutely no responsibility if anything is damaged:
1. They will sync.
2. Because of the different design voltages, the Honda will carry all of the load, up to and possibly past its rated continuous load, before the Yamaha begins picking up any of the load.
I wouldn't try it myself unless the value of knowing what happens is more that the cost of at least one new inverter.
As a comment, I have accidentally paralleled my eu2000i with an Outback inverter (during a power outage). Nothing broke, and it took me a while of watching the lights in the house changing brightness until I figured out what was happening.
