My generator puts out 117-118V at 30 Hz. My UPS battery backup will not accept 30 hz. Is there a filter or converter to get up to 60 hz so my battery backup will charge off the generator when the power is out?

What is the make and model of generator? How do you know it is putting out 30 cycle power?
