Hi Colin,
Large transformers are very efficient unless... made specifically for the ham
market!
Any commercial 120-240 multi-KW unit should exhibit less then 5% loss.
Sorry for the tardy reply but, this was buried in my inbox under RS-232
chatter.

I have a 6.5 KW 120 volt Onan generator. I have been told that because it uses
a transformer as part of a regulator system that it is not recommended to
reconnect to produce 240 output.
Question: What sort of efficiency am I looking at to use a 120 to 240
transformer? Is there a particular type that might be more efficient? Would I
be looking at 15% losses?
Note: This is an amps question, because I may run my 240 amplifier off the
generator.
