Provides 2× CEE 7/3 (230V), 1× IEC Commando (32A) (120V 60Hz).
Inverter alternator with ≤3% THD. Safe for microprocessor-controlled appliances.
Electronic/resistive load with 1.1× start-up profile (98.9% surge margin).
Never operate indoors or in attached garages due to lethal carbon monoxide (CO) exhaust.
Safe envelope verified: Starting surge (50W) remains comfortably below the 4500W surge trip line, with steady-state operation settling into the safe continuous zone at 45W.
About 27 hours on a full 2.25-gallon tank of gas, with the home network rack averaging 45 W: 1% 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. On propane (20 lb cylinder): about 40 hours.
Running a home network rack uses about 0.08 gal per hour at this 1% load, or 2 gal per day of use. A full 2.3 gal tank lasts about 27 hours. On propane: about 0.49 lb per hour, so a 20 lb cylinder lasts about 40 hours.
