actually runs at such a low voltage without simply stopping.


The voltage drop may not be at the generator itself - it might just be
injecting power at a different location that makes the voltage drop
where it reaches your property more noticeable.


when we had a local under road cable fault - we had a genny to ourselves.
Mind you it was installed at about 2am, failure had been about 1pm. But,
the stuff in the freezer was fine. We had the genny for 4 days.
