Andy asks:
In the manual for my DeWalt power generator, it states that the speed of the engine is electronically regulated to 3700 ( yes, 3700) rpm.
In other manuals for other equipment, I see 3700 rpm referred to as the speed for maximum current output at constant voltage welding.....
However, the DeWalt generator is not a welder. It is used only for home power backup.
I was under the impression that all of these generators had to run at 3600 rpm (for 60 hz output). Yet the manual plainly states 3700. The lady who answers at customer service at DeWalt is of no help...
So, does anyone here have direct knowledge about this number, or do I chalk it off to a missprint in the owners manual ?
Thanks, Andy
