Amp Question, Watts, Electrical system.

First of all, you're not going to get 30a from that 30a socket. It just means your 30a plug fits in there. If you look on the plate on the hookup side of the Honda, it should say 13.3a continuous. That's the most that generator is designed to handle for 'normal' use. And even then it will be working very hard, and be loud. So, two hooked together are good for 26.6, or about 3,000 watts. Again, that's MAX. The 2,000 watt rating is legally what they can say and get away with it, because it's possible it can surge to that amount for a short time.

These generators put out a varying amount of power depending on what you're asking for, if I understand you correctly. It's not 4,000 watts all the time.
