My apologies for no signature, I must have been overwhelmed with joy
to be shutting the generator down:-)
Google turned up several of those units and that was one of the least
expensive. I wanted one without the UPS, just something too make sure
the power is cleaned up before getting to my transfer switch.
Regards
Steve

Lots of interesting specs, but they're missing the important ones. Like,
what input voltage range gives what output voltage range?
The idea is a good one, though.
