Been reading a lot about emergency generators not being safe to use with new style electronically controlled appliances like refridgerators microwaves etc. I may not be explaining it properly but from what I have read it's all about low end and medium quality consumer style generators not having the ability to supply a constant 60HZ and protection from power surges. Apparently installing a household surge bar like we all use with our computers just doesn't work properly and won't protect appliances.
I would lie to know if Lincoln and Miller welder/genertors are able to supply the quality of electricity that wouldn't damage sensitive electronic controls. I'm not interested in running super sensitive things like computers just general everyday household an shop equipment in an emergency or work related situation. I would much rather buy a combination unit than a single use generator and from what I have seen they are really not that far out of line consider the price of a new Honda Generator with the necessary voltage and sine wave controllers.
I have already sent E-mails to Lincoln and Miller asking the same question but I would really appreciate input from all the experts on this newsgroup. Hope I have explained myself properly.
Thanks in advance
