Comments Honda Various Models HONDA - The Power of Dreams Honda Generators – The Power to go anywhere. Honda’s technologically advanced generator range includes inverter equipped models suitable for powering frequency sensitive computing equipment. Nothing Beats Honda Portable Power. The Latest Innovations You’ll find Honda Generators incorporate the type of innovations and cutting edge technology that no other manufacturer can match. Our remarkable EU, EM and EX Series generators feature a unique high-speed multi-pole alternator built into the engine – enabling them to reduce their overall size and weight to around half that of the competition! Honda’s EU10i, EU20i, EU26i and EU30is generators take this technology a step further by incorporating an advanced microcomputer-controlled sinewave inverter. This guarantees consistent commercial quality electricity and makes them ideal for use with sensitive electrical equipment such as computers. These generators also feature a built-in Eco-Throttle that automatically adjusts engine speed to meet load demand for improve efficiency and fuel economy. And with engine encasing sound-proofing, the EX7, EU10i, EU20i, EU26i and EU30is generators are able to exceed the toughest noise regulations in the world. Using Your Honda Generator Before connecting an appliance to a Honda Generator, you need to check the generator has enough capacity (watts) to both start the appliance up and keep it running at maximum level. This includes checking both the maximum and rated output. Calculating Rated Power Some appliances, like light globes, have a clearly marked wattage. However, most give the required number of watts (the "rated power") on an attached compliance plate. In cases where the appliance only refers to required amperes (amps or A) simply convert to watts using the following formula. Converting Amps to Watts Multiply the amperage listed on the compliance plate by the voltage of the mains electrical system (240 volts). For example, a 5 amp appliance requires 1200 watts to run (5 x 240). Start-Up Power In addition, appliances with electric motors such as drills, sanders, polishers and power saws need an extra "boost" of watts at start-up. This can be substantially higher than the operating figure printed on the compliance plate, and depends on the type of motor. Split Phase Motors require 8 to 10 times their rated power for start-up and Capacitor Motors need 4.5 times their rated power to start. The more common Series Motors need 1.5 times their rated power to start up. If you are unsure, check with the appliance manufacturer. Parallel Connection To double your power and duplicate the output of a single larger generator, Honda’s versatile EU10i, EU20i, EU26i and EU30is generators can be linked quickly and easily using a special parallel connection cable (note: only same capacity units can be linked). Parallel Connection Leads: EU20i, EU26i and EU30i (15 amp) Part No: L1002-CRE-001. EU26i and EU30i (32 amp) Part No. L1002-CRE-032A. EU10i (N/A amp) Part No: 32360-ZC3-000. Choosing the Honda Generator That’s Right For You To help you choose the Honda Generator that’s right for your needs, we’ve put together a chart listing commonly used appliances and their average power requirements (see inside). Please note that it is a guide only. If you need more information on any Honda Generator, simply contact your local Honda Dealer.
