Generators - Types
mydmax2:
One that has a regulator won't be an inverter generator and so negates what the op is asking about. Carlin wants to run sensitive stuff so any other type than an inverter isn't going to be what he wants no matter how cheap or throw away they are.
sdouglas:
Yeh, buy cheap and throw it out but when they play up it’s usually when you need it most. There’s no one to fix it or way to buy a new one when your in the middle of a natural disaster or 8 o’clock at night in a storm.
Carlin1983:
Ive been also look at the Westinghouse and SPTools Generators.
they have a range of non inverter Generators but produce SineWave quality power - My understanding is this would be suitable to sensitive devices (even thou id still use a UPS)

tom60:
The Westinghouse brochure does not specifically state the output is 'pure' sine wave. It might be... but then it might be modified sine wave which could adversely affect electronics in some appliances. I would check it was pure sine wave before purchasing.
mydmax2:
Any generator produces sine waves, it is just not necessarily in synch with the thing you want to Power or the correct voltage. A generator won’t create modified sqaurewaves, they are a product of electronic switching.
