3kVA (3000W) Honda Petrol Inverter Generator EU30is

The Honda EU30is is a single phase petrol inverter generator with a maximum output of 3000W (3kVA) at 240V. A Honda GX200 engine drives it, with both recoil and electric start, and inverter electronics regulate the output into a stable supply that holds steady as the load changes.

Key features

• Inverter technology produces a clean, stable supply, which suits sensitive electronics such as laptops, routers and phone chargers.
• Electric start saves pulling a cord on every start, and recoil start is fitted as well.
• Two 15A outlets let two appliances or leads run at once, provided the combined load stays inside the rated output.
• The single phase 240V supply matches the household and trade appliances that plug into a standard outlet.
• A 4 year limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser, with regular servicing required.

The fuel tank holds 13 litres of petrol.

What it will run

The 3000W maximum is about 12.5A at 240V (3000W divided by 240V). The rated output sits below that maximum, so size everyday loads to the rated figure and treat the maximum as short-term headroom. Typically the set suits phone and laptop charging, lighting, fans, a TV, a fridge or freezer, a small compressor and power tools, as long as the running total stays inside the rated output. Compressors, pumps and fridge motors draw several times their running current at start, so switch them on one at a time. The compliance plate on each appliance gives its running and starting figures. Home connection must go through an inlet and changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician. Send us your load list and we will help with sizing.

The EU30is suits caravans, motorhomes and camping, mobile workshops, market stalls and standby power at home or on site.
