I lied, one more post! I will probably adjust the speed up slightly if I can figure out how. Started off 60.25 and ended 59.10. I will probably adjust it to 61 idle

Okay last time hogging up OP's thread, I just wanted to follow on the testing of powering the whole house Just tested it with the interlock powering the whole house, everything worked fine. I did not test the main AC however since I have a soft-start I bet it would work. There is no point...

Light tests The CDL light test was in the second video with the UPS, after looking at the Ecoflow

Back to power tests, some very good results. Those on here who told me not to worry, were correct. Those who have issues with power out of their light tower either doesn't have enough load on it, or they have some kind of problem they should address. Voltage only really seems to be an issue at...

The UPS in my house is double conversion, so it has a vvveerrrryyyy wide acceptable input voltage. As long as it looks like 120vac to some degree, it will accept it, since it gets converted to DC and back to AC again no matter what All my UPS's have network cards so I can easily adjust all of...

I'm not an electrical engineer, but I can see how a bad cap would be doubly as bad for these gensets in that case It will be interesting to test the house, I have a double conversion UPS that powers all my network, computers, TV, etc. The load rarely dips below 900w, so that's a good constant...

It will be interesting if I have enough base load in my house that I don't need the resistive heater, I will probably try a few more items on their own first before plugging into the house and giving it a go Going to pre-emptivly replace the capacitor since its old, hopefully I got the right...

Did some testing today, I figured I would add on to this, just for anyone finding this thread from Google With the light tower completely unloaded, plugging in an Ecoflow Delta 2 resulted in it not charging, it would try and bring the charging circuit online but then it would quit, and try over...

Deleting the stickers, may need to give it a buff or something so its just green

Well, here we go!

$1100 is a great price! This unit states 120f Ambient max, and some other units I was looking at like a Terex RL4000 show 104f max ambient, which is really odd. It often gets to above 104f...

If you could get the light tower for $1500, would you buy it again?

So LED lights would work fine when there was no change in load? Thats good to know!

Yeah, I would check the oil the very least every few days at minimum if I had an aircooled (Spoiler, I wouldn't own an air cooled)

I guess I'll share some generator Beryl pics, just to pay it forward. I know we all love seeing hurricane power outage pics (Or, am I just weird?) 6 days and 6 hours on generator power until utility came back. Generator has a Mitsubishi 4G64 2.4L I4 engine, ran great Started with 24...
