GenTHDHighHigh Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) Measured THD is above 25%Generator power output is not stable and having high THD (THD means total harmonic distortion, which is a metric to measure the power quality. If the THD is high, the performance of your electronics will be affected; for example, you may see flickering lights).
