1700W pure sine wave inverter Generator

Recommended Posts

Bought incase of power loss during a time where i could absolutely not afford to lose power at home.

Paid $999 and never had to use it.

Has fuel and oil in it, ive started it up and tested it all works when i bought it

Starts first pop.

Digital Hour meter is still on 0.00

1700w 4 stroke

very quiet 68db iirc

3.5 l fuel tank

twin outlet

Automatic throttle control to conserve fuel

Has digital readout of V , HZ, KW and Hours

Pure sine wave so can run digital electronics

Very compact to store away and easy to move

Perfect for Race series guys, big enough to run tools/lights at the track

Asking $500, pickup in taupo,

Could ship but not sure on price as it weighs 26kg and i would have to drain fuel and oil first.

What kind of tools do you think you could run from this?

it has a peak output of 1900w for tool start up needs

so realistically anything 1500w quite comfortably

drills, saws, heat guns, polishers etc most tools fall within this range

wouldnt run things like welders though

being pure sine wave would be ideal for televisions or computers

compressors would be out of the question i suppose.

Completely. It would struggle to run a grinder, I cant think of any power tools it would run.

seeing as browsing my tools almost all seem to be well under 1000w i would say most

but yes compressors etc would be out of the question

quote from http://www.powerproduct.co.uk/which-generator.html

Power tools

For all normal power tools, that have brushed motors, a generator is required with a rated power (Watts) which equals or exceeds the power tool wattage. For example a 2,200 Watt angle grinder can be run from a generator with a rated power of 2,200 Watts or greater. However, they also say that common sense suggest that wherever possible a slightly higher rated generator would be preferable.

Motor Starting is an important factor when buying a Generator. Consideration should be given to the fact that induction-type motors, typically require 2-3 times their listed running watts to start while power tools using universal brush type commutator motors do not require additional startup power. Induction motors are fitted with capacitors and are often used in pressure washers, steam cleaners, pumps, industrial equipment and compressors etc.

and here is their guide for what most items consume

Sorry, was thinking most grinders etc were 2400watt, but they are only about 1200
