LOUISVILLE, Ky. — #hondapowerequipment introduced two, all-new open frame inverter (OFI) generators at GIE+EXPO 2016, the largest trade show for outdoor power equipment, lawn and garden equipment, light construction and landscape equipment. The new #honda EB2800i industrial model and EG2800i consumer model expand the company's portable power offering for light construction and home use applications, delivering more of what #honda generator customers have come to expect: quiet operation, high-quality power, fuel efficiency, and long run times in a lightweight, portable package.
"Market demand for portable generators of less than 4,000 watts is growing, and #hondapowerequipment is meeting this demand by expanding its portfolio of quiet, portable power, with two new open-frame inverter models," said Michael Rudolph, vice president – #hondapowerequipment Division. "The all-new #honda EB2800i and EG2800i models are Honda's first generators to be assembled in the United States. Both new generators are the lightest weight open frame generator in their class and incorporate Honda's leading inverter technology and innovative features at an affordable price for both industrial and home users."
A Closer Look at the #honda EB2800i and EG2800i Generators
The Honda EB2800iindustrial OFI generator, the newest addition to the #honda Industrial Series lineup, was developed to serve the contractor market, providing high-quality power for multiple tool use on the jobsite. At an industry-leading dry weight of less than 67 pounds, the EB2000i portable was designed with the single worker in mind. The new #honda generator is light enough for one person to load and unload from a truck, operate, and carry around the jobsite, all while providing ample power for a variety of tools including small compressors, air circulation fans, large concrete drills, multiple hand tools, electric concrete vibrators, circular saws and battery chargers up to 2,800 watts. The #honda EB2800i complies with current OSHA and LA-ETL regulations while ensuring safe operation with GFCI protected receptacles.
For residential applications, the Honda EG2800iprovides quiet operation and sufficient power to keep the basics running such as a refrigerator, freezer, furnace blower motor, several lights, microwaves and TVs during a power outage. The all-new Economy Series model weighs in at an industry-best dry weight of less than 67 pounds and comes equipped with a 30 Amp / 120 Volt receptacle for easy connection to a home transfer switch.
Perhaps the most practical, yet important features of interest to consumers who are purchasing a generator is the amount and the quality of power produced by the unit. The #honda EB2800i and EG2800i models offer a maximum 2,800 watts of electricity with a wave form distortion factor of less than five percent. This translates into a generous amount of usable power available for a wide range of industrial and residential applications. Ease of use also is key for any portable generator, and these all-new open-frame inverter models include easy-start control panel instructions.
In addition, both the Honda EB2800i and EG2800i feature rugged, full-frame protection and share a number of features and benefits that make these portable units the ideal choice for quiet, dependable power:
The Power Behind the All-New #honda EB2800i and EG2800i Generators
The all-new #honda EB2800i and EG2800i OFI generators are powered by the #honda GC190 horizontal shaft engine—a quiet, four-stroke model specifically designed for premium, quality residential power equipment applications including pressure washers, water pumps, compressors, and portable generators. Innovative #honda design features, including the world's first internal timing belt on an engine of this kind and a uniblock construction, make the GC190 engine lighter and more compact than other engines in its class with significantly reduced noise and fuel consumption. Combined with Honda's innovative lubrication system, the result is a simple, sophisticated design that minimizes the number of parts and can reduce potential maintenance needs.
The #honda GC190 engine also is equipped with the #honda Oil Alert™ system, designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert® system is designed to automatically stop the engine, protecting it from expensive repairs.
