Such as, the Furman AR 1215. Delivers a stable 120 VAC
with input voltage of 97V to 141V. Retails for about $500USD.
Shuts down if voltage is over or under acceptable range. Avoids mishaps
like the ones describe in this thread.

No meters on the genny itself? Lately all of the gennies that I encounter
come with digital control panels that give you accurate readings of voltage,
amperage and frequency for each of the phases. Or they have analogue volt
meters and amp meters built in.

analog meter, and it read proper, but I never trust those, I meter, I just
made the mistake of thinking any poutput of the genny would represt what the
genny was doing as opposed to having to drill holes in thye proctevie cover
over the lugs to meter the genny there
the genny would shut down if you opened the access to the lugs while in
operation
so it was clear that metering the lugs was not part of the design of these
gennys(2 x 45kw)
