Why no Honda EU2000i Parallel In Canada?
Just got a clarification why the certain Canada-model Honda EU-series generators do NOT have parallel connections. (Exception: the EU1000i does). The (Canada) CSA rules don't say "no parallel" but ...

This is not new info as we have long ago figured that out wrt to receptacle amps and paralleling. What is more curious is why they allow it in the USA and not in Canada.
The parallel kit is supposed to have a 30a receptacle in it. What about that? Why doesn't that work for Canada? (BTW, my Honda 3000 has a 30a receptacle but it is only good for 23.3 amps.
A related item is how my 2003 Komfort trailer has one electrical schematic for Canada and another for USA versions of the 7355 power centre. The USA version has all 20a branch circuits and the Canadian version has all 15a except for the air conditioner at 20a.
Are we to believe the American version has all 12 instead of 14 wire and that all their receptacles have the 15/20 slots instead of just 15 slots for the prongs? I doubt it.
In addition many posters here from the USA seem to use "20a" when they mean 15a. Perhaps it is because of the way new homes are wired in the USA vs in Canada?
