With so many electrical devices containing sensitive electronics, is there any use for a non-inverter generator?

I'm not sure if this is your point or not, but if you run this size generator through your main panel fuse box as a whole house generator, that eliminates the risk to those electronics because it's running through a fuse box, no?

Fuse box would only work for overload protection, it won't do anything to clean up a dirty signal.

Electronics (Esp the ones with an AC adapter) can take a bit of distortion. Taken from Champion's website:

Champion portable generators will output an industry standard total harmonic distortion (THD) rating of about 12%-20% depending on load applied. They will produce a sine wave, not a modified or square wave. This is perfectly acceptable for running common commodities found in your home such as TVs, computers, your appliances, etc.
THD is a measure of the deviation of a sine wave from a "perfect" sine wave. All electricity, including line electricity, has measurable THD.

If you have a specific item that requires less than 5% THD such as a UPS style battery backup, a pellet stove, or high efficiency furnace control board, we recommend purchasing a Champion Inverter Generator.

I'm beginning to wonder as well. My Duromax 10000 watt generator wouldn't even run my coffee maker. I had to use my 1600 watt inverter to get it to run. It also won't charge the UPS. I would have never thought a coffee maker would be sensitive to generators.


I need to replace that garbage Duromax with a Generac non inverter thats <5% THD.

I have the duromax 10000. We use it at Talladega. Run the keurig, 50" big screen with directv and sound bar, and anything else we put on it. Never had an issue. We have had it about 3 years. Before that, we had a 5000 watt coleman. Same set up.

The duromax even runs my 92% efficient variable speed Trane furnaces. They must be more forgiving that you think.

Did you ever find out about this? I want to get the 6500 and the coupon code expired smh. Wondering if going to the store saves me 100, and can I still use the coupon?
