I fired up the AC. With the igen 2500. It ran the AC fine for a few cycles At 124 volts. Then I fired-up the microwave oven while the compressor of the AC was not running. The output showing on the igen2500 generator showed a consistent 97 volts output. Question, why would the voltage output on the display only 97 volts? Is it only showing the real component of voltage when there is a strong imaginary voltage component? It has been too long since my EE classes.
