Remote start generators - no load at start?
I'm considering picking up a remote start generator (something along the lines of a Champion 3400 watt). Reading the operation manual, it says that you cannot remote start the generator under load. Do...

Outside of specification volts per hertz is DEATH to an AC generator voltage regulator. So today's voltage regulators established 55 Hz is a minimum generator speed at which the regulator will force field a generator to maintain voltage.
The problem with timer based protection is that it does nothing to protect against underspeed. It is assumption based protection and assumption based protection is as hazardous as assumption based battery state of charge. Configuring a voltage regulator for a larger generator should include the Volts per Hz inherent protection of a voltage regulator design.
