NE, Im glad a bunch of good gents alreaady weighed in (Sunday AM here) AND I TOTALLY AGREE. Maybe I can explain it a bit so you understand why they are right as rain. Hey AC IS NOT the same nor as simple as adding up two or more DC batterys in series or paralell etc, you got all that darn phase n frequesncy stuff to consider....
To begin with, all the 120 and 240 volt and 60 HZ has to do with the frequency (RPM) and timing (1 is fine but if 2 involved) of the sine wave that generator is cranking out. When you center tap a 240 volt transformer theres only 1/2 or 120 votls from either phase to the center and they are 180 out of phase with each other SOOOOOOOOOOO as all the other (probably all smarter then me, I'm long retired n rusty on this stuff remember, most of the other guys are current on this) gents point out IF YOU COUPLE UP TWO GENNYS HOW YOU GONNA GET THEM IN PHASE AND INSURE THE SAME FREQUENCY/RPM ??????? If not they are gonna fight one another as one out of phase is seen as a load versus a helping hand, to put it in layman terms.
That being said and intended as an el cheapo Home Depot or Lowes sold product I cant say if a so equipped better quality genset cant have some sort of phase control system that indeed enables two of them to be synced up????
Like I used to tell my kids years ago when I got asked all sorts of questions (dont ya love them years) DAD DONT KNOW EVERYTHING and while I'm decent on AC Secondary Power Distribution (did that for a living some years) and DC tractor electrical components, AC Generators are NOT really my cup o tea
