Provides 2× CEE 7/3 (230V), 1× IEC Commando (32A) (120V 60Hz).
Inverter alternator with ≤3% THD. Safe for microprocessor-controlled appliances.
Inductive motor/compressor load with 1.9× starting surge (motor inrush) (96.9% worst-case surge margin).
Never operate indoors or in attached garages due to lethal carbon monoxide (CO) exhaust.
Safe envelope verified: Starting surge (140W) remains comfortably below the 4500W surge trip line, with steady-state operation settling into the safe continuous zone at 75W.
About 26 hours on a full 2.25-gallon tank of gas, with the box fan averaging 75 W: 2% of the Champion 4500W Dual Fuel Inverter (201319)'s 3,500 W rating. Champion publishes runtime only at 25% load, so this load uses the fuel-curve shape from Honda's published EU2200i runtimes. That's about 3.3 days per tank. On propane (20 lb cylinder): about 39 hours.
Yes. The box fan's start-up peak of about 140 W (up to 200 W) fits within the Champion 4500W Dual Fuel Inverter (201319)'s 4,500 W starting-watt rating, with 96% headroom even in the worst case.
Running a box fan uses about 0.09 gal per hour at this 2% load, or 0.69 gal per day of use. A full 2.3 gal tank lasts about 26 hours. On propane: about 0.51 lb per hour, so a 20 lb cylinder lasts about 39 hours.
