Generator 2 kW

The 2 kW generator charges small household appliances, laptops, phones and tablets. This is a compact device that fits in the trunk of a car and does not require much space for installation. A 2000-watt mini-station is good not only for the home and garden, but also for fishing, outings, traveling and minor repairs.

How to choose and use a 2kW generator for your need?

Buying a 2 kW generator is worth it for those who are looking for a backup source of electricity for domestic use. Such a station can also be the main source of current, but only for small amounts of engine hours. To prevent the engine from overheating and to last longer, it is recommended to turn off the unit and allow it to cool.

When choosing an autonomous 2 kW station, it is worth considering what fuel will be used for its operation. There are models on the market that run on gas, diesel and gasoline. There are also dual-fuel units that run on both gas and gasoline. They are more expensive, but more versatile, because... different types of fuel replace each other.

For devices sensitive to sudden surges in voltage, inverter generators are recommended. They deliver current without surges, which is important for electronics and sensitive household appliances. Owners of expensive equipment, the breakdown of which can lead to serious repairs or even damage to property beyond repair, should consider purchasing an inverter installation.

It is necessary to calculate in advance the total power of electrical appliances that will be connected to an autonomous energy source in the future. In this case, a reserve of 20-30% is added to the amount received if new devices appear. A 2 kW generator is suitable if the total power, taking into account the increase, does not exceed 2000 watts. Then this is the best option. There is no point in buying expensive and bulky 15-kilowatt stations with a 10-liter tank if your only needs are charging your smartphone and turning on the TV.

What features and advantages of 2 kW generators should be taken into account when choosing?

Buying a generator with a power of 2 kilowatts is worth it for those who value mobility. This small-sized unit is lightweight and can be easily transported from place to place. It can even be transported on a moped, having first taken care of the fastening. The durable frame not only provides protection, but also makes it easy to carry.

Both a 2 kW gasoline generator and a diesel powered station can be equipped with a protective casing. It significantly reduces the noise level during engine operation, which is especially important for a diesel model. In addition to sound insulation, the casing protects from rain, snow and dust.

There are a few other things to consider before purchasing a generator.

• Temperature. A portable gasoline generator is suitable for sub-zero temperatures. In cold weather, a diesel unit requires heating or placement in a heated room.

• Fuel price. A 2 kW diesel generator is more profitable in terms of the cost of 1 kilowatt of energy, because diesel is cheaper than gasoline.

• Number of phases. Power plants of 2 kilowatts are designed for low-power devices. Therefore, most often they are single-phase.

• Manufacturer. It is better to buy a 2 kW generator that meets quality and safety parameters from trusted manufacturers. Such products are sold with a warranty period and are made from reliable materials.

In the online store you can buy a 2 kW generator at a competitive price. The best models of mini-stations from trusted manufacturers are suitable for charging low-power electronic devices and home appliances.

2 kW power: how it meets different energy needs

The 2 kW generator is a low-power unit. It is bought to power small household appliances and gadgets. The 2000 watt power plant is single phase. It charges 220 V devices. The unit is not suitable for three-phase 380 V consumers.

Despite the fact that the 2 kilowatt station is low-power, it can be purchased for charging household devices with different power consumption. Below are examples of devices with consumption in watts, for which a 2000 watt station is enough to charge.

• incandescent lamp - from 20 W;

• mini refrigerator – 50-100;

• smartphone – up to 30;

• boiler – 500-1000;

• electric kettle – from 600 to 2000 (depending on the model);

• laptop – 80;

Note that you should buy a 2 kW generator in order to provide yourself with a backup or emergency power source. It will not be possible to power electrical appliances that require a constant supply of current. But for backup use for several hours, it is quite enough for most single-phase household electrical appliances.

To maintain performance, the unit must not be overloaded. Do not allow wear and tear to work, otherwise the mechanism will fail due to constant overvoltage and overheating.

Cost-effective solutions: advantages and options for using 2 kW generators

There are power plants on the market that are fueled with different types of fuel. However, a 2 kW diesel generator is relatively rare. The most popular are gasoline units. For ease of carrying, they are equipped with a handle and a durable frame that protects the mechanism from mechanical damage.

The gasoline station is lightweight and compact in size. For example, the Kraft&Dele KD135 model with a rated power of 1.8 kW and a fuel volume of 10 liters has compact dimensions of 390x450x440 mm. In addition to compactness, it is worth buying a 2 kilowatt station for 2 advantages.

1. Low fuel consumption. A 2 kW generator is low-power; therefore, to generate 1 kW of electricity, little fuel is required. For example, the GENERGY LIMITED 2000i model with a rated power of 1.7 kW has a fuel consumption of 0.8 l/h. Of course, fuel consumption depends on the manufacturer and characteristics. But on average, 4 liters of gasoline is enough for 4 hours of work.

2. Low noise level. Portable units are ideal for home use because... they produce a moderate level of noise when the engine is running. For example, the GTM R2000IS powerhouse is only 65 dB loud. Modern models are equipped with a noise-absorbing casing, which makes the engine operation unobtrusive to the ear.

Unlike powerful power plants, you can purchase a 2 kW gasoline generator for installation both outdoors and indoors. When installing indoors, it is important to adhere to safety regulations. It is necessary to have a ventilation system - exhaust gases must completely exit to the street.

When installed outdoors, the device should be placed in a place protected from precipitation. And away from flammable substances. The power station should be installed on a solid surface without inclination. The surface must be protected from moisture, clean and stable.

To buy an autonomous station with maximum benefit, choose products from trusted brands.
