NT-
Normally you would be correct. This little Yamaha generator has a 3-phase
alternator whose output is rectified and sent to an inverter. The
inverter produces a synthetic sine wave that is a constant 120.0 VAC at
60.1 Hz for resistive loads up to at least ten percent over the power
rating.
Neither the owners manual nor the service manual has any information about
what is inside the inverter module. The output may be inductive, but I
can't tell.
If you can believe the advertising hype, the inverter's output should be
cleaner than other generators.
