Hopefully if you don't get power back by the end of the year your wife learns to adapt to the reality of living on generator power and doesn't try to run every appliance at the same time again, but as long as the fluid levels are good she's unlikely to do any actual damage to the generator with...

Yup, I agree with that. The load doesn't care how much power the generator is producing, the load only cares about how much power it is receiving. Frequency will drop as the generator is loaded, but will always read the same at both ends of the cable, no matter how much the voltage drops.

I agree with having voltage drop, but it's not possible to drop the frequency over a wire distance no matter how much resistance there is. It will be the same frequency no matter the voltage at either end. Unless my understanding of how alternating current is way off and my google fu is...

The impression I got is that he pulled the utility meter, disconnected the lines out of it, and connected them to the gen. Should be more than large enough for this load. He can correct me if I'm wrong.
