[Fot] UPS power backup

[Mark Pendergrass]

FoTer's; Now your skateing on my ice, one very important thing to remember 
in regards to a generator is wheather or not it has a voltage regulator. The 
voltage regulator ( as most already know) keeps the voltage stable no matter 
the RPM of the engine, the more load you put on it the slower it turns thus 
the voltage and frequency drop, this situation will kill any sensitive 
equip.ie; televisions, COMPUTERS, microwaves etc: Ever wonder why a honda / 
yamaha genset costs three times as much as a  comparable wattage genset you 
will find at a lumberyard or similar place ? A fellow in town bought a 
lesser quality unit last year and planted it in the middle outside of his 
home and two rentals, well he got to buy and or replace three of the above 
mentioned at EACH home......Side note....a typical FULLY automatic 12kw to 
17kw system on an average installation will run you between 4800.00 and 
6800.00 complete, labor and materials...how do i know?  Mark Pendy  #65 tr4
