 ===== inverter generators =====
-Standard generators run the engine at a specific speed to output stable power.  Things that affect RMP (load changes, etc) will affect the output.
+Standard generators run the engine at a specific speed to get a stable 60Hz((in the U.S.)) output frequency.
-[[https://amzn.to/46oVNLI|Inverter generators]] adjust engine output to meet power demand, and run a more complex/$$ AC->DC-> AC process to ensure steady output at any RPM.  As a result //at lower power levels// inverter generators can be considerably quieter and use less fuel than standard generators.  //At maximum rated power// the noise and fuel consumption will be similar.
+> Typically, a United States portable generator runs at 3600 RPM, with 2 poles, for a design frequency of 60Hz.((https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/109378/generator-speed-and-power-output-frequency))
+Things that affect RPM (load changes, etc) will affect the output and can cause "dirty power" (varying frequency).
