We tried using a 4 way extension and same happened - earthed devices worked, no earth devices would not work. We tried other devices and anything that didn't have/require an 'active' earth pin would not work. We then tried a halogen spotlight (500w) and this has a metal earth pin on its plug, earthed I guess to the metal lamp unit - this lit up fine and generator adjusted for the load on it. It worked on the mains socket, so the powerfile was fine. It did nothing - not even an attempt to work. This has a normal mains plug on it, but the Earth pin is unused. To test AC mains output, we plugged a 300w Black & Decker power file into the socket. It arrived this week and we fired it up yesterday to test all is ok with it - starts first time, seen little if any use, but then we came across a 'problem' - or is it? I researched this model and it got good reviews in alot of mags/websites, and at a shade under £100 for 'as new' I am happy. when we setup our AAF display, I want to have some background music, and for the evening when we're camping, some lights would be good I thought, so I went a bought a SIP 'Medusa' T1000 'suitcase' generator.
