Powerarc 140 review

[weldtex]

We do not normally recommend running on a generator, as there are so many and some have really bad power out.

It should not be a problem, I would use the 220vac. And I assume with AVR you have at least 30 amps output. And make sure it has a nice sine wave out. What is the brand name on the generator?

I have a new powermate 6500 watt continuous 8125 watt surge genset. "Generator manual states "Equipment damage can result if equipment is not designed to operate within a +/-10% voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz from the generator nameplate ratings."

Like I said, we do not normally recommend running on a generator. I am not up on the 140ST PS design, so probably not worth the chance.

It should be less than 10% for that unit.

What should be less than 10% for which unit?

[performance]

Voltage variation, and spikes.

Just to clarify and simplify for others...One should only use a generator that has less than 10% THD (total harmonic distortion) to power the powerarc 140. So you are saying it would be risky to use my powermate or other generators with those same specs. correct?

I am not familiar with any of their specs, so I cannot comment.
