HP L360 powered by generator?

10kW

Anybody have a bad experience trying this?

Some signage needs to be finished today so probably going to have to try this.

I wouldn't. Equipment like that needs completely clean electric. Generators don't do that. To insure our flatbed got its exact power and never altered, we put a power boost in. That makes sure your electricity never alters. It might work, but I wouldnt chance it with the heart of my business.

Then if it's some cheap "10kW" from wherever maybe it's not the best idea.
