Do you need a standard generator or an inverter generator?
When choosing a portable generator, you’ll obviously have to choose a model capable of handling the power consumption of all of the appliances that you plan to operate (plus any additional power that certain types of appliances need to start) but did you know that the type of appliances you plan to operate will also be a factor in your decision?
A standard generator is suitable for operating most types of appliances such as a refrigerator or a table saw, but it can cause more sensitive electronic equipment such as computers and stereo equipment to operate improperly or even shut down. Digital equipment requires clean power that is consistent and has a stable signal in order to operate properly and safely.
If you plan to operate digital equipment as well as non-digital equipment then the best approach will be to choose an inverter generator that is capable of powering all of the appliances that you plan to operate. Your alternative would be to choose a standard portable generator for your non-digital equipment and an inverter generator for your digital equipment.
