SW4024 and Pizzo Ignitors [RE-wrenches]

[matthew tritt]

Hay Jay,

.  I suspect that the real reason that certain  loads, like microwaves, oven
bars and submersible pumps don't work properly with the small, low
torque-high RPM gensets has to do with their controls, and not the actual
load. Perhaps, that since these small generators will easily bog down and
develop a less than perfect wave form when attempting to start some loads,
the controls reject the power (or, in the case of some pumps, the engine
stalls out) Does anyone have experience with a small (under 6 kW) high speed
genset that will actually start and run sensitive loads? I've never seen
this type of problem with the Listers or other industrial grade sets that I
use.
