GENERATOR RANGE
2012- 2013
THE HONDA ADVANTAGE
SUPER-QUIET SERIES
EU Series generators represent the leading edge of portable power technology. Ranging from 1000 to 6500 watts.
These totally enclosed, super quiet generators are ideal for recreational and home back-up applications.
DELUXE SERIES
EM Series generators range from 3000 to 6500 watts and offer a wide variety of enhanced functions for home back-up
and general purpose situations.
industrial SERIES
EG Series generators are ideal for residential and commercial use and range from 3600 to 5500 watts, offering
legendary Honda reliability with a “no-frills” approach to your basic power needs.
FOR PLAY
FOR HOME
FOR WORK
For camping and leisure applications, Honda
portable power is the perfect way to enjoy the great
outdoors with all the comforts of home. Portable
generators are also ideal for outdoor events like
concerts, races, parties, trade shows and more.
When the lights go out, it’s more than just an
inconvenience. Power outages can also result in
financial loss due to spoiled food and lost work time.
A quiet, reliable Honda generator can easily keep
your family safe and secure through power-related
emergencies. It can also be used to charge your
12-volt car battery.
Why are Honda generators number
one on the job? Easy. Reliability and durability.
On construction sites, time is money; crews can’t
afford to be idle due to a lack of on-site power.
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.
1 Identify the products and/or
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.
USING YOUR HONDA GENERATOR
CONVERTING AMPS TO WATTS
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.
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
Power Factor AND Calculating Rated 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.
Kilovolt-ampere (kVA) is a term for rating electrical devices. Many generator
manufacturers quote a "power factor" which can range from 0.8 to 1.0.
Power Factor is a unit of measurement to calculate the useable power of
a generator. At Honda, we quote a power factor of 1.0(pF), so you can be
confident that a Honda 2kVA Generator produces 2000 watts. To work
out the useable wattage of a generator, use the formula below:
kVA x 1000 x Power Factor = Usable Power (Watts)
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.

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.
