Provides External inverter required (120V 60Hz).
Inverter alternator. Safe for microprocessor-controlled appliances.
Electronic/resistive load with 1.1× start-up profile (97.7% 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 2200W surge trip line, with steady-state operation settling into the safe continuous zone at 45W.
About 15 hours on a full 0.95-gallon tank of gas, with the home network rack averaging 45 W: 3% of the Honda EU2200i's 1,800 W rating. At this light load below the lowest tested point (25% load), fuel consumption interpolates between Honda's lowest published test load and Eco-Throttle idle fuel consumption.
Running a home network rack uses about 0.06 gal per hour at this 3% load, or 1.5 gal per day of use. A full 0.95 gal tank lasts about 15 hours.
