[QUOTE="Vaal, post: 1136761, member: 24036"] It is very diffucult to say what could/went wrong on that generator, it could have been the automatic voltage regulator (avr). Btw a 2.5kw gen is more than enough to run 2 freezers and 1 fridge. The trick is to start te biggest 1 first, let it run for 1min, then plug the middle size 1 in and let it run for 1 min and then last the smallest one. If you start everything together the startup current might be to much and that will cause the gen to produce lower voltage which is not good at all. For the safety of your fridges/freezers you should get a couple of refrigiration surge/over/under voltage protectors. It is better to have 1 fully packed freezer than 2 half full ones. Hope you get sorted. [/QUOTE]
