Do most portable generators produce dirty electricity? Let me tell you my story. When hurricane Sandy hit New York, I never lost power fortunately, but those who did own portable generators were at a loss finding gasoline. I realized then that using gasoline to power your generator was probably not the best idea. I purchased was a 8000 watt Powerland Tri Fuel generator thinking that I could fuel it off the natural gas line of my house if I ever lose power. When it arrived I noticed some things about the Powerland generator that made me very suspect. The regulator on the generator was made of plastic, the recoil looked more like something I would see on a children’s toy. After many hours of trying to get it to run properly I finally got it running steady. I decided to try it out on my house to see what it could handle. BIG MISTAKE. I noticed all the lights flickering and then boom! I heard a loud noise from somewhere inside my house. I immediately turned off the Powerland generator and went inside to see what that loud sound was. I found the printer from my computer was destroyed. That was the last time I ever powered up that Powerland Tri Fuel generator. I decided to look for higher quality portable generators that I could fuel with natural gas. Everything I located on the internet was of low quality. Those include the brands: Powerland, Duramax, Champion, etc. All built with poor quality engines and producing dirty electricity. What do I define as dirty electricity? Any generator producing electricity with more than 6% THD is dirty. Most of the generators I found produce electricity with more than 15% THD, some as high as 30% THD! Those generators will definitely damage your sensitive electronics. That is why we build our generators with Mecc Alte alternators that produce a pure sine wave and less than 4% THD. This keeps your appliances safe and running perfectly.
