Has anyone Done Voltage Regulation Test Under Load and Total Harmonic Distortion Test?

Hi Charles, I haven't used the generator very much, but when I first got the generator I did check the voltage and frequency with and without load (whole house and well 1/2HP 240vac but minimum watts used) The gen held voltage and frequency very well, did not look at distortion but most brush-less generators tend to be noisy, hope that helps sorry I do not have specific numbers for you also keep in mind the exact generator could be slightly different. I wouldn't want to power sensitive electronics with this generator but for an overall portable backup generator it's great!

i have tested under a 10 amp load on an #12awg extention cord about 100 ft long and got a 1 volt drop. i thought that was great

Thought I do not know what the software in the in-panel measurement system is doing, with only a current transformer on each circuit, I can see no way the current/voltage phase relationship on individual circuits can be measured. The voltage is only measured on the panel as a whole. I have been impressed that the system can track the phase shifts needed to track solar panel power put out on the grid accurately. I can cross check the eMonitor solar power measurement using a measurement system supplied by the grid tie inverter manufacturer, SunPower. The discrepency is usually under 2% and much of that results from the measurement cycle with the eMonitor measuring every minute and the SunPower system measuring every 5 minutes.

I didn't have much luck with these. Voltage changed when a load was connected.

You can check voltage , but u can't do a load test to confirm battery condition !

It only tells you the voltage loss at a specfic load (15 or 20 amps). If the loss is out of line then you would need to investigate to find the cause, like bad connections or undersized wires.

you can't test amps like that. only volts. and you should be getting anywhere from 12 to 14 volts on a fully charged battery..

Your psu tester should have stable green lights throughout .. Depending on what you are connecting. If it flickers, is it steady? I have to different testers just in case the psu tester is defective.

Using any combination of wattage totaling less than what the manufacturer recommend does not work. I tried it before I was forced to increase my total.

Yes. The manual indicates the following tests: AC/DC voltage & current (amps) measurement, resistance measurement (ohms), diode test, continuity test, and battery test.

It will verify your voltage but not your sine wave. Are you trying to measure frequency or peak waves?

Hello data guy, This converter has matched the voltage and sine wave of what we normally get from the powercompany. Before purchasing, check with your power and insurance company about any liability on your part.One note of caution. My first try connecting two 250 watt panels was a disaster. The voltage was 60 vdc inputand the electronics couldn't handle it. Worked a short time then fried. Keep input dc voltage down.

The Briggs and Straton generator I purchased was exceptional in that it produced no harmonic distortion whatsoever. It also produced no electricity, so I sent it back and bought a Honeywell. It was a true POS machine.

I didn't see the battery load test described with this meter, nor do I see you that function on the meter. Would like to have that as I understand that gives you a realistic reading how a battery performs under load, not just a voltage output.

I dont believe its regulated, at least I cant find anything on thr transformer that states it is

Only if the tester supplies the load. The power supply gets connected to the tester or the system, there is no provision for in-line. But it was under $10.

Sir, according to the user manual, you can test up to 10 amps (DC only) however, for every 15 seconds of testing, you must wait 15 minutes between tests in order to allow the meter to recover from that level of current. You can download the manual here, just click on the "Download Manual / Software link" Hope this helps. http://innova.com/en-US/Product/Detail/3320

You could test it if you had a 12 volt source and wired everything up. The unit basically just needs power and a ground.
