Pro Power 7.2kW Output Frequency

I have dug through all the specs I can find and searched online, but I haven’t found any information on the output frequency of the Por Power system. Does anyone know how close it is to 60Hz?

It should be right at 60 hz. I will say that when I powered my house last week really cheap LEDs did flicker. More expensive name brands were no problem.

If it's not 60 Hz, it needs to be pretty close to it, otherwise certain electronics wouldn't work properly. I can check mine with my multimeter when I get home to see what it reports.

I checked a house receptacle tied to the utility and it was stable at 59.99 Hz. ProPower is close, but not fully stable either. I'm not sure what the tolerance is on whatever inverter they're using, but it's still pretty close.

An engine powered generator will have a droop characteristic. My genertor runs about 61.5hz unloaded drooping to about 59.0 at full load. Given the wholly electronic nature of this generator I'd be surprised if it has more than about a half a hz droop. The engine driven generators need a droop characteristic for the engine's governor to operate properly.

My 8000watt inverter Cummins generator
Will stay right at 60 hz. Fluctuations are 59.
Inverter modern ones are very good .in what I have found
Better than provided line power
With high I have seen at just under 61
My old Honda 1800 varies enough to remind you of an old movie flicker
Buts it's a 1992 vintage

Other question you should ask… Is it a pure sinus wave?? Some electrics don’t work well with chopped sinus waves.
