My 3G internet connection (60 lire) keeps closing down on me since Ive started to run my generator, is this normal for a 550 kw geni. I have nothing else on but a small fridge and 2 lights and my computer of course!

Its all to do with the relative power & voltage fluctuation, I could bore you to death with the electircal thoery, but not need in this instance.



For the power to your PC/Modem or any other PC peripherial it would be best to run the through a voltage stabiliser or also known as a smoothing unit, which irons out the peaks & throughs. Should be available at any decent IT outlet.

A normal voltage stabilizer i.e. one that uses relays or a servo motor will not do the trick. They adjust the voltage but they do not take away the spikes. Your best bet is to use a Static Voltage regulator with a filter i.e. my brand ELKO JJW series, see http://www.elkocyprus.com/e-jjw.html

So my generator is the reason I keep getting thrown out of internet connection. It had done it just now twice every 5 mins say but then doesnt do it for maybe 20 mins so what you are suggesting will solve the problem then

Try it on battery alone. If it does it again, then you are sure that its not the electrical supply cuasing it.
