[Boatanchors] Little "Field Day" Genny, Remarkable Price.

[rbethman]

All,

Anyone considering one of these needs to carefully view the expanded 
view of the data.

It is indeed rated @ 1000W, however, it very specifically states on it 
that the power factor is 1.

Should this be used with "any" AC fan or motor, then this does de-rate 
the output.  Fans and motors on AC do not run at a power factor of 1!

Standard power production is always run at 0.8 for the power factor.

Fact of the matter is that generators "if" run into a leading power 
factor will tear up the generator windings.

It would be a good read on AC power, and how power factor comes into play.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Cheers, Bob - N0DGN
