Westerbeak generator question

[Zellous]

I’m having an issue when I run the generator it runs fine at 120 volts at 60 hertz under a full load does not miss a beat. But when you turn microwave on it trips gfi even with gfi circuit breaker off microwave is on its own dedicated breaker. Anyone ever experience this.

Yes. Mine does this when there is a big load on the genny. We can not run the microwave when the water heater is heating water, the cockpit heater is on and we are making coffee. Ours is a 5kw genny. Often have the A/C on too and that is too much. My owner manual says to do load shedding when the exhaust starts putting out grey smoke. We make smoke at those loads.
