POWERSMART SERIES TM
INVERTER GENERATORS
To help ensure consistent power at any speed, DC power is produced and the onboard computer converts it to high quality AC output. This process helps maintain steady, accurate, and clean power output at a level similar to what you experience in your home. The PowerSmart Series™ Inverter Generators produce less than 3% total harmonic distortion making it safe for laptop computers, TVs and game systems.
