AC power lost on one leg

[GARY MINKER]

Use a real voltmeter and do not trust the panel mount units. If you really have 130 volts you have other issues that will cause damage to the rest of your things. gary 85pt40 --- On Fri, 7/30/10, Don Bradner wrote: From: Don Bradner Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: AC power lost on one leg To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, July 30, 2010, 8:17 PM My generator is different than yours (a "Universal" only used in 1990, I think), that runs at 130v no-load at 60Hz. If I set its speed down at all the voltage will drop, but so will the Hz. Under significant load it drops to around 128v. I've not experienced any problems except I had to set the max level for my inverter (ProSine 2.0) to 131 or it won't kick out of inversion mode.
