I don't understand how arbitrarily speaking, smaller displacement is a hindrance. :h
In the case of Honda's new EU2200i it is. The previous EU2000i with it's larger 98 cc engine was already the class leader in surge capability, up to a 1/2 hr at it's full rated power, the new EU2200i with it's even larger 121 cc engine is even more capable of sustaining it's full rated surge output. All other competition pales by comparison.
While in the final break in phase I loaded my 2200i to about 3000 watts and it throttled up higher than normal but put out. One day I will test the max output. This gen rocks.
considering it has a 20 amp breaker im curious how you did that
Ok so I just got my second killawatt in the mail the other day, so I just tested it with a 1500 watt heater and 1250 watt hair dryer.
It would put out 2300 total and was dropping both about 300 watts from their rated power consumption. Couldn’t see that before but they both still ran and didn’t trip any breakers so I assumed it was putting out their rated consumption. I just didn’t have enough monitoring equipment to be thorough.
So the max output is ~2300 watts at a DA of 2500 ft.
