How to choose?
To correctly select a gas generator, you need to understand the purpose of the future purchase. If you live in places where there are often problems with the power supply network, then it is worth considering that the unit has sufficient power to supply the entire room with current.
If the generator is needed only for use in those places where it is not possible to conduct electricity, then there is no need to purchase a powerful model. For example, if it comes to working with not too demanding equipment or lighting a tiny garage, then buying a powerful and expensive generator will be a waste of money. It is necessary to quite clearly predetermine the purpose of the technique and start from this.
Do not forget about the characteristics and general design of the unit.
Parameters such as the number of sockets and transport wheels make the work much more convenient, so you should also pay attention to them. Of course, fuel consumption is also very important, because the more it is, the higher the costs will be.
Thanks to the types of generator components already described, it can be concluded which types of cooling or alternators require the least fuel to function.
Manufacturer information
The history of the company began with a small workshop for the production of motorcycles, today the Honda enterprise is one of the world's largest manufacturers, which produces not only cars and motorcycles, but also a variety of power equipment (power plants, outboard motors, cultivators, lawn mowers).
The company employs more than 124,000 people around the world, who day after day unite their efforts, create new and modify old projects, improve production equipment, and also offer products that meet the highest requirements in the field of environmental protection and safety.
The research departments of the enterprise work in close contact with the points of sale and production of individual structural elements, which allows them to coordinate their areas of activity and direct it to the development of what the end user needs in a certain period of time.
A fundamental analysis of its activities allows the company to annually introduce technological innovations into production that help to combine the best developments in each unit of manufactured products.
Peculiarities
Honda gasoline generators have a number of features that set them apart from the competition.
- Quality. The Honda brand is known all over the world, so there is no doubt about the quality of its products. The homeland of the company is Japan, where high technologies are the basis of production. As for gasoline generators, they all pass the necessary quality control.
- High wear resistance. It is worth noting that this feature applies in general to all generators, engines and other similar Honda equipment.
- Security and protection system. So that the consumer does not face failures, malfunctions and other problems, all models are equipped with overload protection. In this case, the unit will automatically shut down to avoid excessive voltage build-up.
- Large model range. For the buyer, there are generators with various alternators, starting systems.In addition, all products are distributed in some detail by capacity, fuel tank volume and other characteristics, according to which it is necessary to select such equipment.
- Convenience. Most models are equipped with soundproof enclosures. Also, some units have a built-in electric starter, which allows you to automatically start powerful engines. Do not forget about the increased mobility in the form of wheels for transportation.
Advantages of 7 kW gasoline generators
The range of 7 kW petrol generators is presented by compact and lightweight models with low noise level. Their small size does not limit the efficiency of power generation in any way. The generators are suitable for domestic use in country houses and in the country, and can also play the role of a backup power source in small industries. Most models are equipped with additional electronic circuits: overload protection, voltage stabilization and oil consumption control systems. Despite the same power indicators, other characteristics of 7 kW gasoline generators can vary over a wide range of values. Among them, you can choose a solution for any task and any budget.
Other pluses of this category include:
- Simple operation - no special knowledge or skills required. The engine is started manually or with a starter, the voltage is adjusted using a special screw. In the event of overloads, the load is automatically disconnected from the generator.
- Profitability. The fuel consumption of gasoline power plants is much lower than that of diesel and gas models of similar power. In addition, gasoline is much more affordable: it can be purchased at any gas station.
- Wide range of applications. These devices are used for backup power supply in country houses, in shops, in small manufacturing plants and even in hospitals. They are suitable for organizing outdoor events and are especially useful for hiking trips.
- Wide range of working conditions. Temperature drops and humidity have practically no effect on the performance of devices: they run even in frost and are capable of operating in 20-degree frost. In this regard, 7 kW gasoline generators can be used not only indoors, but also directly on the street.
- Small size and weight provide high mobility of power plants: they are easy to move and transport.
- Low noise level: the sounds of the generator are heard only within a radius of 1-2 meters from the device itself.
The lineup
Gasoline generator Honda EU20i. Manufactured in Japan, it is the senior representative of gas generators. The miniature body is equipped with an optimal set of functions (air cooling, oil level indication, automatic shutdown, overload protection), which make it indispensable for domestic use. The rated power is 1.6 kW, the maximum is 2 kW. Has a connector for recharging 12V batteries. Starting is carried out using a manual starter. The cost of this gas generator for a private house ranges from 84,000 to 89,000 thousand rubles.
Petrol generator Honda EP 2500CX. A relatively inexpensive, lightweight and fairly compact power plant with excellent performance and optimal current for the tool. The permissible battery life is 15 hours. The rated power of the unit is 2.0 kW, the maximum is 2.2 kW. There is a 12V output for recharging the batteries. It is recommended for use when a “long-playing” power source is required, for example, when going out into the countryside or building at a great distance from gas stations. The market value ranges from 50,000 to 58,500 thousand rubles.
Petrol generator Honda EG5500CXS. A relatively new high-performance model of gas generators.It is one of the most powerful in its series, has an increased battery life, up to 8.1 hours. The unit is equipped with a new engine, which results in significant fuel savings. The device is designed for powering heavy, energy-intensive, as well as construction devices. Rated power of 5 kW enough to organize the work of several rock drills up to 1 kW and a concrete mixer (depending on the starting current). The maximum power is 5.5 kW. The cost of the unit ranges from 119,000 to 120,000 thousand.
Gas generator Honda EC T7000. A real construction power plant designed for the intensive operation of energy-intensive devices. It can produce different types of voltage: 220/380 V. The battery life is 2.2 hours. Minimum power (400-230 V) - 6.5 / 3.6 kW. Maximum - (400-230 V) - 7.0 / 4.0 kW. When connecting, a threefold excess of inrush currents is allowed. Can be supplied with two wheels. The cost of the unit directly depends on the city of purchase, since only large federal networks hold such a unit in stock, so in 100% of cases you will have to pay extra for delivery, the average price with delivery is 102,000 thousand.
