Description
This is a gasoline-powered, single-phase inverter generator encased in a durable, sound-dampening plastic shell. It utilizes advanced inverter technology to produce pure sine wave electrical output, which is cleaner and more stable than the power from a conventional generator, ensuring the safety of sensitive equipment.4 The unit features an easy-to-use control panel with standard outlets and often includes a fuel-saving Eco-Mode to automatically adjust the engine speed based on the load.
Key Features
-
Inverter Technology (Clean Power): Provides Pure Sine Wave output, safe for laptops, smartphones, TVs, and other sensitive electronics.
-
Ultra-Quiet Operation: The fully enclosed design and smart throttle reduce the noise level significantly (typically $52 \text{ dB} – 62 \text{ dB}$ at $7 \text{m}$), comparable to a normal conversation.
-
High Portability: Lightweight (usually under 7$25 \text{ kg} / 55 \text{ lbs}$) with an ergonomic carrying handle.
-
Eco-Mode: Optimizes engine speed based on demand, maximizing fuel efficiency and extending runtime.
-
Parallel Ready (Often): Equipped with ports to connect a second compatible unit (often another IG-2000) to double the total power output.
-
Multiple Outputs: Includes $120 \text{V}$ AC household outlets, a $12 \text{V}$ DC outlet for battery charging, and often USB ports.
