Don't know how it senses overload.
It has a circuit breaker for the 120v receptacle and I tested that, and it works. Red light steady, breaker pops. I see on the Kill-A-Watt, that it starts the flashing red warning when the 120v load gets at/just over 1700VA which is the continuous rating.
The manual says its "revolving field is driven at about 4,500 RPM"
Says it can "bog down" if overloaded. Maybe it loses some revs going over 1700VA? Can't hear that, but maybe see it on a rev counter of some kind?
I see the Honda 2200 has a new bigger engine than the previous Honda 2000 has, which must be why it can do more VA? Is that just to keep the revs up when max loaded?
