I want to run my laser at craft shows and flee markets, the problem is several of the largest ones don't have spots with power available, I had planned on using deep cycle batteries and a true sinewave inverter but cost and weight made me realize that wasn't the way to go. So now I am looking at generators.
This is the generator I am looking at http://www.costco.ca/Browse/Product....741&lang=en-CA
It gets good reviews, but my concern is, is the power clean enough to safely run a laser. I sent an email to the manufacture asking for a graph of the waveform under a 1000watt load. I just sent the email yesterday so I haven't heard back from them yet but well searching online I came across these sites that show the output of the generator.
This one looks nice and cleanhttp://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fu...g/24923563.cfm
But this one(same model) is very jagged but still follows the wave much better than a modified or square sinewave inverter http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fu...1/page/868.cfm
So what do you guys think, would it be safe to run a laser on one of these generators? Also if I do buy the generator I plan to find someone nearby with an oscilloscope to check the output of the unit I get just to make sure there is nothing wrong with it.
