Two all-new open-frame inverter (OFI) generators—the Honda EB2800i industrial model and the Honda EG2800i consumer model—expand the company's portable power offering for light construction and home use applications. These OFI generators deliver more of what Honda customers have come to expect: quiet operation, high-quality power, fuel efficiency, and long run times in a lightweight, portable package. Both new generators feature rugged, full-frame protection, are the lightest weight open frame generators in their class, and incorporate innovative features at an affordable price.
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.
