Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

Romy, you might want to re-think 2 guys and pneumatic casters under a bare frame dolly for a 950 lb. unit.  If you insist on doing it this way, I hope you will make and post a video of the event.  I'd at least consider solid, rated casters, especially if you plan to leave the unit on the dolly for any length of time.

The regulators they put on generators are, best case, tailored to the anticipated load.  Since I got disheartened about it I have not followed through to try to figure out the differences for resistive, capacitive or inductive loads, but I have read that each load type responds best to a somewhat different AC form.

My own idea of "perfect power" is still pretty basic: a steady, clean, full 60 Hz sine wave of 15 or 20 A and 120 VAC.  This is not something I've found yet from loaded porta-power.  Another thing is noise vs grounding.  I have to say that I never tried to get the grounding right on porta-power, either.  With systemic backwash inevitable, I think this would go a long way to quiet things, at least.

The one area where the portable units truly lag vs wall power is current.  As I have said before, one "secret" to [good] wall power is a helluva lot of current.  But I think another "secret" is grounding.

Best regards,
Paul S
