THE HONDA ADVANTAGE > 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 4 easy steps to follow, along with a chart listing commonly used appliances and their average power requirements. Please note that it is a guide only. If you need more information on any Honda Generator, simply contact your local Honda Dealer. > 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. 1 Identify the products and tools you intend to operate with your generator. 2 Determine the power requirement for each product (allow for the starting load). 3 Total up the wattage for the products which may be operated simultaneously. 4 Choose a generator with a rated output of at least your total, plus around 10% contingency.

HONDA INVERTER TECHNOLOGY

Honda Inverter Technology means stable, clean power in a smaller, lighter package. You can even operate the most sensitive electronics without fear of interruption. Inverter technology is available on seven Honda generators; look for an “i” after the model number. Computers and power-sensitive testing equipment require what is referred to as “clean power.” Clean power is electrical current that is consistent and has a stable “sine wave” or signal. If the lights or other basic appliances in your home were being powered by a generator and there was a fluctuation in the AC power, you’d probably see the lights flicker – no problem! However, if your computer was being powered by a generator and the voltage fluctuated, chances are the computer would either shut down or at least interrupt the program you were working in.

In order to overcome this problem, Honda engineers developed a revolutionary form of inverter technology. This process takes the raw power produced by the generator and passes it through a special microprocessor. This means you can operate a computer or other sensitive equipment from a remote location without the fear of interrupted service or damage to the equipment. Using inverter technology, Honda engineers have integrated parts from the engine and generator set, such as the combination flywheel/alternator. This results in a more compact and lighter product that is purpose-built to make clean, reliable power.

ECO-THROTTLE™ SYSTEM

Eco-Throttle™ System Fuel economy, quiet operation and low emission levels. Exclusive to all inverter models. Honda’s Eco-Throttle™ system automatically adjusts engine speed to the optimum level, given the usage load, through a load-dependent speed control-type governor. This not only results in excellent fuel economy, but also makes a quiet generator even quieter. Eco-Throttle™ is standard on all inverter models.
