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

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

I was told at one  time  Costco  has a generator  that  had a Coleman name 
on it that out out 
12v,  24v,  115 @60hz and  115 @400 hz
 
my friend  decided he wanted another one  but  Coleman  disavowed making 
it?  
was it  a china   misuse of  trademark?
 
In any event... if  anyone  know of  one like this  at  a reasonable  price 
please tell!
 
Thanks in advance  Ed Sharp archivist  for SMECC

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.
