Community Advice in Oahu
COMMUNITY ADVICE: Reposting from Gary Hashimoto "Since people are posting, it’s probably pretty important to know some basics about generators. First of all, any generator that has an engine powered by fuel should never be operated indoors. The carbon monoxide in the exhaust is known as the silent and invisible killer. With that out-of-the-way, there are three main types of generators: A generator with a metal frame like the first picture is NORMALLY meant for non-technology equipment, for example, a power saw or a pump. They do not properly convert the electricity to safely operate sensitive electronic devices. You can fry expensive equipment by using them on this type of generator with raw power. These are also known as modified sine wave generators. A generator such as the red Honda in picture two is an inverter generator, with the proper stable output for expensive electronic equipment and even appliances that have digital controls. These are also known as pure sine wave generators. The last picture illustrates what is known to some as a solar generator. This is basically a large battery that converts DC power to AC power. One of the most popular brands is EcoFlow, Anker is another popular brand. These would be the only ones safe to use indoors as they have no running engine. If you are unsure, please dig around the Internet, ask questions of somebody who knows such as Battery Bill, or make sure you are getting information from people who know what they are talking about."
