Just a little update for the heck of it, using a handheld o-scope the wave form is still pretty dirty. Looks more like a sawtooth than it does a sine wave.

I can live with that methodology. Test it and replace what breaks with something better.

I'm not too familiar with tv repair. I have an old tube tv and that's always worked when i wanted it to. not much for it to do these days though. and I've repaired flat panel tvs, well, one anyway. So you use an isolation transformer when measuring something? I'm curious lol. I'm an electrician...

noted, thank you!

nah, i mean i would anticipate some interference, but this is for emergencies and boondocking. I just want to be sure my electronics won't be damaged and i really don't want the a/c or fridge to be damaged. those are very expensive.

I used a regular 110 o-scope but it was plugged into city power with perfect sine wave at 60.00hz. It could have been a coincidence but i did this odd job for a temp agency years ago where we were repairing cracks in cement. The company got a new portable generator and new dewalt grinders. Two...

Its for my RV so things like AC unit, TV, fridge, sounds like laptops and phones will be fine. The frequency is ok, minor deviations, Its not the smoothest running engine. The wave form is shaped a lot like a chainsaw link. um, it spikes high then trails off then drops to the opposite, spikes...

hijacking this thread in part to help the OP as well as myself. I do know how dirty my generator is, its an old tecumseh and the sine wave looks more like chainsaw teeth than a sine. Is that ok for electronics?
