The Kipor IG2000 Digital Petrol Generator is a top - selling model in our suitcase range. It can deliver a maximum continuous power of 1800 watts. Standard with a parallel connection socket, it allows you to connect two or more parallel - configured Spark generators, even those of different sizes. This is great for running high - load devices occasionally, like in automotive sports for powering small compressors or pressure washers. In a caravan, it can charge your leisure battery, mobile phones, laptops, and tablets. It can even power your microwave, hair dryer, travel kettles, and travel irons, no matter how remote the location. Charging your caravan battery takes the same time as when connected to a hook - up. A smart tip: use your leisure battery at night and recharge it during the day to save fuel and reduce noise. A full tank lasts about 5 hours under full load and 5 - 6 hours in normal use. It has integral overload protection, automatically cutting out if overloaded. This generator can run microwaves and small 1600 - watt kettles. It won't power air - conditioning units or large compressors, but it can handle tyre warmers in motorsport. During a power cut at home, it can back up your fridge, freezer, and central heating, with some power left for lighting. The only recommended way to connect it to your home is through a manual transfer switch installed by a registered electrician. On a boat, it runs main lights, charges the battery, powers the microwave or fridge, and can supply power to your Victron or Sterling inverter to charge batteries up to 80 amps. Just be careful not to overload it when charging batteries. It can't run a washing machine; for that, you'll need to upgrade. Overall, it's a popular choice for caravanning, boating, and motor sports, and provides good home support during power failures. Check the power requirements of your devices and never exceed the unit's rated power. Features of the Kipor IG2000 Spark Digital Petrol Generator: It's ready to use right out of the box - just fill it with fuel and oil. It's lightweight, compact, and ergonomically designed, with an extra - wide filler cap for spill - free refuelling. It uses inverter technology to provide a stable, pure sine - wave 240V output, safe for all electronic devices. Smart throttle technology improves fuel economy and reduces noise. It starts and runs quickly and simply, with a low - oil sensor to prevent damage. Rubber feet reduce vibration. The parallel operation feature allows you to combine generators of different sizes and run at 80% of the combined output. Special features include a 230V voltage, 50Hz frequency, 7.83A rated current, 1.8 KVA rated output, 2.00 KVA max output, 12V / 5A DC voltage with a single - phase fuse, a digital display, a re - set button, and a built - in USB socket. The engine is a single - cylinder, 4 - stroke, air - cooled, OHV petrol engine with a 5000 rpm rotation speed and a 113 ml displacement. Specifications show a rated frequency of 50Hz, rated voltage of 230V, rated current of 7.8A, and more. Kipor offers a full 1 - year warranty or first 500 hours.
Using the Kipor IG2000 Digital Petrol Generator is easy. First, when you get it, just fill it with automotive unleaded gasoline and the recommended lube oil (CD grade or SAE10W - 40, 15W - 40). Then, it's ready to start. You can use the recoil starter to get it going. For running your devices, connect them directly to the generator's outlets. But always check the power requirements of your devices and make sure they don't exceed the generator's rated power. If you want to use multiple generators together, you can use the parallel connection socket. This is handy for running high - load devices. When charging batteries, be careful not to draw too much power through the ring main, as this can overload the generator. During a power cut at home, have a registered electrician install a manual transfer switch to connect the generator safely. When the power is back, switch back to the national grid and turn off the generator. For maintenance, regularly check the oil level. If the oil level is too low, the low - oil sensor will stop the generator to prevent damage. Replace the oil as recommended. Also, keep an eye on the fuel level and refill when needed. The generator has integral overload protection, but it's a fail - safe device and not something you should rely on daily. And remember, Kipor offers a 1 - year warranty or up to 500 hours of use, so if there are any issues within that time, you're covered.
