Randall,
Maybe with the new 'Kill-a-Watt P3' meter, you could give us some idea of the pf on the large fan motor used in your demo video. The Champion 2000i red overload light came on at 11 amps. The Honda 2000i was different. My 10a saw shows the pf to be 1 ~~ thanks in advance.

Floyd, I haven't forgotten about you. I am still recovering from bone fractures. I am doing very well, though. The clamp meter indicated approx. 14.4 amps when the Little Champ went into overload. Which makes sense cause we went over the rated capacity. The Honda is a little forgiving. At about 400 bucks more, though. I will put the fan on the "Kill-a-Volt" thingy and let you know. That ventilation fan is designed to slowly ramp up to prevent high surges so that we can power it under different situations, avoiding unnecessary overload conditions.

PS. Beautiful weekend here at the camper. With shore power....
