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× start-up profile (60% surge margin).
Never operate indoors or in attached garages due to lethal carbon monoxide (CO) exhaust.
Safe envelope verified: Starting surge (1800W) remains comfortably below the 4500W surge trip line, with steady-state operation settling into the safe continuous zone at 1800W.
About 9.1 hours on a full 2.25-gallon tank of gas, with the induction cooktop averaging 1,800 W: 51% 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 6.1 days per tank. On propane (20 lb cylinder): about 12.7 hours.
Running an induction cooktop uses about 0.25 gal per hour at this 51% load, or 0.37 gal per day of use. A full 2.3 gal tank lasts about 9.1 hours. On propane: about 1.6 lb per hour, so a 20 lb cylinder lasts about 12.7 hours.
