Bill, A true RMS meter shouldn't be necessary with a gennie in most cases, as the gennie is a rotating source, so the waveform is naturally true sine, or close. The true-RMS meter is more important with mod-square inverters, as cheap DMMs estimate RMS voltage as a proportion to peak voltage,

Wrenches, I have a customer that is reading voltage with a non-RMS meter in the following scenario: 4000 watt Onan RV generator (older) at ~5500 foot elevation...its output is connected to the "AC in leg 1" of an OB VFX3648 using (customer installed, I came on this job
