One would think that a 2Kva generator produces 2000w of Power at Mains Voltage (210 - 220 V).
KVA is a theatrical / potential amount of power that a generator can produce. There are losses in the physical world due to transmission and electrical resistance / inductance, back EMF and other things which "cost" some of this potential power. Honda's website states that their Generators have a Power factor of 0.85. That's a great power factor, usually its only 0.80 |
KVA X POWER FACTOR = Actual power
2000 X 0.85 = 1700 w This Means you can draw 1700 w from a Honda 2KVA generator

Normal Carburettor
CO2 = 12 - 14 % CO = 3- 5 % HC = 200 - 300 ppm O2 = 0 - 3 % |
Vaporising Carburettor
CO2 = +14% CO = 0.0x % HC = 0 - 50 ppm O2 = 0 - 6% if its very lean |
GEET System
CO2 = 0 - 1% CO = 0 - 0.0x% HC = 0 - 10 ppm O2 = 18 - 20% |
Lean Burning engine "Lambda 1.1"
Engine uses less fuel and overheats CO2 Goes up as more fuel is fully combusted CO Goes down for the same reason HC Falls because you burn more of the fuel O2 Rises from 0 -3 % up to a max of 6% If the mix is so lean that the Lambda reads 1.2 (16:1) The Oxygen content can hit as much as 10%... At or before this point pre-ignition occurs which, steals power, over heats the engine and will burn out valves and spark plugs.. Eventually this will cause the Cylinder or Engine Head to distort and fail in a spectacular fashion. |
Rich Burn engine "Lambda 0.9" or less
Engine uses more fuel and runs cooler CO2 Falls as there is not enough air to burn the fuel CO Rises as more Carbon in partly burned HC Rises for the same reason O2 Is definitely 0 and there is nothing left to burn A Rich fuel mix works the other way around. The engine may produce more torque or more achievable load. However due to the lack of air the engine runs cooler, which is nice, but it now produces more pollution as visible smoke and sooty deposits. This cokes up the engine causing sticky valves, jammed piston rings, blackened and miss-firing spark-plugs. These things will eventually rob the engine of compression and power... |
A Fairly good system will achieve this.
CO2 = 1% CO = 0.1% HC = 10 - 20 ppm O2 = 18 % |
If you get it just right!
CO2 = 0.0 CO = 0.03 HC = 0 O2 = 20% |
