[A/S] Re: Generator Question
Hello Michelle, You are right. Big difference, their rates are
higher. (Not really when you figger in the price of gas per KWH.) The
generation process is different. The power plants generate raw AC at
incredible amperage, where the Honda creates DC voltage and runs it
through an inverter to achieve AC voltage. The power plant sends you
220 volts in either single phase or 3 phase in industrial
applications, where the Honda provides only 110 volts. But the
Honda's end result is clean AC power. The exact same as what is in
your home. With a little less kick, but enough to wake you up if you
get a jolt. It's a mini powerplant minor differences but essentially
the same. My vote.....ground it, it can't hurt and takes little time
and effort. AL
