Some little generators are not for electronic equipment. Don't want to fry
the controller. I'm in process of looking at voltage and waveforms from
mine.

Most electronic equipment today uses SMP supplies which are quite tolerant of
poor waveforms - actually a lot better than older transformer input stuff.

There was recently a long thread in electronic group recently. Reported
distorted waveforms, and problems loading on side of the 240 split.
