Generator Question

[Defib]

Good Morning

I purchased a very basic generator this weekend. The reason for a basic genie is due to affordability.

Its a Ryobi RG-950 and its output is 650w according to spec.

Now its main purpose is to run a few energy saving lights and to use my 4mnth Old's bottle/food warner.

Cooking will be done on gas and isn't an issue.

Now I know this unit doesn't have AVR and have heard if you use a surge protection device, I know Ellies sell one, things will be stable enough to say run a TV if needed and plug in out cellphones, or even my Cellfi signal booster as we have poor signal in out house.

Please advise??


Thanks

What is the power draw of the food warmer?

 

[Defib]

210w they say and the cellfi they claim 17w - now baba food warmer will only be used when needed

Very basic test to get an idea of how clean the power is, run a florescent light off it, if it flickers like a 80's disco I would not run the mentioned devices directly from it, maybe via a small UPS.

Yep run it through the UPS,I've run lots of electronics like that over the years and had no issues.

I've got one, only had it for 9 months and on Thursday it gave a hiccup and now seems to not run.
Though when it did work it did power quite a bit.

Carefull, UPS can reject the dirty power.
Also, If it doesn't its line interactive, so its basically in bypass when its getting power, meaning your device gets the power directly from the Gennie.
