I wasn’t sure where to classify this…

I have an inverter generator but it’s only 3000w and it’s gas only.  An inverter generator that will kick out 6000+ watts would cost thousands of dollars.  If I could afford to go that route, I might as well install a permanent whole home backup generator.

the point is, I already have a generator that will do 6800w running on propane, so rather than spend thousands of dollars on a different generator, it makes

more sense to spend a few hundred on something that will filter the noise and balance the voltage.  If a UPS does that, then I’m set, but if it doesn’t, I need a solution that doesn’t involve replacing my perfectly good existing $1000 generator with a new $3000 generator.

Eaton brand Pure Sinewave re-generators are all over eBay used. they will take the 120VAC 60hz from the generator, turn it into DC, and then back into perfectly regulated 120VAC at 60Hz.

they can also be used on your audio system, all day long, every day. that is what they are for. they are back up generators, industrial, commercial, bullet proof..designed to recreate the 120VAC all day long and switch to making it off a battery supply if the power goes out.

Thus they are perfect for multi use. For cleaning up emergency generator power and for cleaning up your regular AC coming from the power company, and for blackouts/flicker/etc via their own internal battery systems, which can be expanded. Or run off of battery-solar combos.

I prefer to leave "regenerators" alone. 

The tech reviews of the audiophile grade units are worse than previous generations, and the UPS kind seem to have a lot more reliability issues than non-sine wave UPS units.

Oh my you move from Southern  Cal to South Alabama.Forgetabout your power backup you need a reality check there is more at stake than listening to music get back to Southern Cal.lol

@scott22 You obviously have never lived outside of Cali. The beaches near me have softer sand, water that is so clear that I can see the ground at 6ft deep, you don’t need a suit or to swim in the ocean comfortably.  If it rains, I can go in the water immediately after vs. San Diego where you should wait 24-48 hours for the contamination runoff to pass…. And you can talk to random women and men, without worrying about getting pepper sprayed for saying “Hello”. Yup
