Hello, you may want to look for AC voltage regulators. They are usually used for this exact purpose when the line voltage is not "clean". Depending on type, they regulate the voltage, frequency, phases, etc. However they may end up being more expensive than just using DC (if possible). So if your

Fellows I did find a AC-AC inverter. Don't know the price but have asked. ABSOPULSE The FC 2KP-EW/A Series modular ac-ac frequency converter system was designed to deliver a clean sine-wave output from ″dirty″ generator voltage under extreme environmental conditions. 73s Will, KB7QL On Mon,

Lots of generators have bad outputs. Most inverters made in the last few years have very good outputs as the older units produced a square wave or mortified square wave. Advances in electronics have allowed sine wave inverters to be produced at a much lower cost than they could a few years ago.

Perhaps I'm showing my ignorance, but I would think that an actual AC generator would have a better waveform than any inverter that isn't intended to tie into the grid.  That makes me think that your generator is not working correctly. On 6/15/2020 1:14 PM, Will Gray via BVARC wrote: I have a

You might consider a decent UPS, most of them will purify the power and give you a small amount of running time while you’re refueling, etc. APC is a very good and long-trusted brand in homes and datacenters alike, with every size you could want. There are many other good options on Amazon;

I have a 5500 watt diesel generator that gives me plenty of power but the waveform of the 60Hz power is flat topped and very rough (bad power for good equipment). I am looking for a source of an AC-AC inverter that would take that bad power and convert it to pure sine wave. Does anyone have any

I finally decided on an HF Rig, the FT991A, so I will have an extra UHF/VHF radio since the 991 aslo includes those bands. So I am selling the newest radio the FTM 300, never used, still in box...with everything that is included with a new radio purchase. You all know new it goes for 470 plus
