Honda Power Equipment introduced two, all-new open frame inverter (OFI) generators at GIE+EXPO 2016, the new Honda EB2800i industrial model and EG2800i consumer model. These new generators expand the company’s portable power offering for light construction and home use applications in a lightweight, portable package—assembled in the U.S. at Honda’s Swepsonville, NC plant.

At an industry-leading dry weight of less than 67 lbs., the EB2000i portable was designed with the single worker in mind. The Honda EB2800i complies with current OSHA and LA-ETL regulations while ensuring safe operation with GFCI protected receptacles. For residential applications, the Honda EG2800i provides quiet operation and sufficient power to keep the basics during a power outage, equipped with a 30 Amp / 120V receptacle for easy connection to a home transfer switch.

The Honda EB2800i and EG2800i models offer a maximum 2,800 watts of electricity with a waveform distortion factor of less than 5%. A large, new 2.1 gallon gas tank provides 5.1 hours of operation per tankful of gas at rated load or 12.1 hours at ¼ load. A large muffler design contributes to quiet operation; both models have industry-best sound levels of 61–69 dB(A) measured at 7 meters.

The Honda GC190 horizontal shaft engine power the EB2800i and EG2800i OFI generators. Honda generators carry a three-year residential and one-year commercial warranty.
