Biggest converter for Honda 2000

Fisherguy's PD9280 drops to 75a at start and settles between 75-70 for a time before tapering off. (like a typical PD) that might help with the generator. ISTR the gen has some sort of surge allowance above that 1600 continuous for a certain time, which might be enough time for the PD to taper. However I don't know if it wouldn't run a straight 80 anyway. The PD9280 needs a 20a circuit not a 15a circuit.

For near max load with a cold gen I recommend leaving Eco off at first, then turn Eco on a few minutes later.

I know the PD60A runs fine and gives the honda some margin, that's what I have. When I looked, the powermax PF corrected 100A should also work fine, maybe even better than a PD60A. I considered the PD80A, and couldn't convince myself I'd be able to run it at a full 80A. Problem is/was that PD doesn't spec VA draw, only watts, so it's a guessing game. I guessed it would be near the honda 1600VA max. but couldn't determine if it would be "above" or "below", so I went the the 60A.

However if Fisherguy runs his, sounds like it's an option and you've got a definitive answer. However, anything more than 80A Non PF corrected probably is going to be a problem.
