I think the term you are looking for is "Power Conditioner" or "Line

Turns out to be non-trivial. The generator is a Champion 7500
Ben Koenig,
Sorry to ask, but you wrote "The obvious racism coming from our
current president" which introduced politics to this discussion.
Please give some actual examples of this, as there are a lot of false
accusations in the political world.
Please note that Trump has a number of
There is a difference between chinese-made and chinese-DESIGNED.
Its a known fact that some chinese companys exist to create low quality
knock-offs of name brand products in several different industries.
This is a nuance that often gets glossed over in casual conversation and
affects everything
Tomas,
My experience with switching power supplies has been that if they
are noise makers they are Chinese made. I used to install a lot of

I wonder, without any desire or starting political flame wars, what has
"Chinese" to do with any of this stuff?
Are there any
Yes, I've also run into the G/N bonding inside wiring issue before. The
error mssg on the UPS was "wiring fault". In that case moving the UPS to
another outlet solved the problem as the wiring issue was only on the
outlet.
Tripplite does recommend a specific UPS for use with a generator. It's

Ahh forgot the G/N bonding, in the industrial environments I
worked in, we never saw that one it was caught prior to hotting
up the circuit, but indeed home installations are a crap shoot.
Indeed the home I bought where I now live was like that I had
to make sure the G/N bond was solid as it

You can find multimeters that will measure low frequency signals
and of course 60hz is down there.

to accomplish this by adjusting the governor / idle speed of the generator

Ideally, you'd have a cheap multimeter to use to quickly and easily dial in
the rpm but if not, you
During the fire event last week we were without PGE power a couple of
times. We have a generator connected to the house through a transfer
panel which worked fine for everything except the battery backup units
we have for our computers. They rejected the power that wasn't a stable
