Why is it when I plug a tool into my 3000w generator it works fine but when I plug it into my 5000w generator it doesn't get up to full speed? It's a cutting tool and it doesn't happen with all tools.
It may have a control unit that idles it back if no load is present. The load that the cutting tool is presenting to the 5KW generator may not be enough for it to recognize. More load may be required for proper operation.
When it's plugged in, I turn the idol off of automatic so it doesn't idol and it still isn't working like it should. It's just weird that it works on the other smaller generators just fine.
I thought the inverter gensets were full-sinewave.
Edit: it appears the Honda units are. Go to this link and then click on the link in the middle of the page that says "Advanced inverter technology..."
