MEP 805b: “clean” power generation

I have a 805b that now produces nicely, thanks forum.

I am likely wording this question incorrectly but researching gensets I understand there are traditional generators and inverter gens. As I understand it, the inverter gens produce a more steady 60 hertz while traditional fluctuate more and can damage sensitive electronics.

What is the groups experience with MEP 805bs used to power electronics, computers or TVs? The output looks steady but is it something I should shy away from? Mine is set up primarily to run well pumps, fridges etc. and wanted the forums experience with this.

Thoughts?

Alittle frequency fluctuations wont hurt. Most electronics are DC anyway so they wont care. Motors will change speed a bit.

As I understand it, as long as the gen head isn't brushed (like the cheapo ones from big box stores) you're good.

I load tested my 805b, the only droop in hertz i can get is going from no load-0kw to full load-33kw, its only 2 hertz for only long enough for the display to change,

i cant seem to find the load testing videos of an 805b
