Frequency control and stable voltage are the two things that should concern
you when it comes to Gen sets. Onan 6.5 or 6000 is king in this department,
mostly due to heavy cast iron construction, and a huge amount of overkill
built into them.
A Gen set that is only operating at part load, instead of smaller
units running at their red line electrically as well as mechanically, is
assured of a long service life. Can't fool durability when it is built in.
Sometimes, price isn't the only factor to consider.
