Safe operating voltage of TV
Hi There
I have a Dunlight 4200kva generator. Theyare are brushless self regulating generator. It runs power tools without any problems.
I want to use this to run a caravan as well.
Sometimes the voltage can go up as high as 270volts.
What is the maximum safe voltage for a tv????
Thanks Matt

Could be expensive.
G'Gay,
I can't say that I've tried, but to my mind you would be stretching the friendship. Common sense says NO.
Just one thought, is that a no load voltage that drops with any sort of a load?
Try it with about a 60 Watt lamp.
If now below 250 V, should not be a problem.

If they are self regulating , just what are they regulating? It obviously isn't the voltageOriginally Posted by vortec
run it through a ups or a dick smith 240 to 110v transformer.
or you will be sorry......
I wouldn't run any 230/240 appliance on more than 250 V. Things will start to fry up or you could have a chernobyl on your hands.
Hoe's idea is a good one, only some UPS won't run off a generator unless it is one of the newer "inverter" types.
The outputs of older generators tend to be a bit noisy and the UPS sees this as a poor mains input, therefore won't switch back to it.
I don't know if they are available where you are, but a lot of asian immigrants to New Zealand bring these "auto voltage controllers" with them. Totally unnecessary here, but they bring them anyway [then dump them out on the hard rubbish collections!]
I think where they come from, they either have fluctuating mains supply or they have a choice of 110 or 220.
Anyway, this box self-regulates and keeps the output constant regardless of the input voltage.
I would be looking at the circuit on the generator,you might find some caps that don't look to happy
Chernobyl thats one way of describing it LOL
When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all
