#3 What is the THD?
This generator will put out the standard 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 "pure" 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 (sizes from 1600W to 3500W); Champion Open Frame Inverters (sizes from 3500W to 8750W); or a Champion Home Standby Generator (range from 8.5KW to 14KW); all units provide a less than 5% THD. Consult your Appliance Manufacturer to determine if it will require a less than 5% THD power source.
