Ah, the PLEASURE of owning a Honda INVERTER genset.....

Runs 1200 RPM inside the fiberglass and steel enclosure until the load gets
to around 1800 watts, then GRADUALLY increases to its full-load-speed of
2200 RPM.............all the while feeding high frequency AC to its 3KW,
solid state inverter which puts out a rock-solid 60 Hz synthesized sinewave
to the loads, no matter what the engine is doing.....

Too bad someone doesn't use this technology in a YACHT GENSET of reasonable
price.....instead of the old 60 Hz alternator-on-a-driveshaft.

58 dB @ rated load
49 dB @ 1/4 load

It makes no more noise than someone talking at a normal level......
