Description
Zoom on the A-iPower SC2400iP
In short, the A-iPower SC2400iP is a compact and lightweight portable inverter generator adequately designed for:
- Tailgating and campground aficionados with the desire of enjoying power anywhere they go
- Handcrafting enthusiasts who wish to work on-the-go
- RV travellers looking for even more independence
The subsequent sections will explore in detail its power characteristics, the diverse outlets it provides, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it offers.
Power & Run Time
The A-iPower SC2400iP houses a 80 cc Yamaha OHV 4-stroke engine, which provides 120V, consumes gasoline and delivers a running wattage of 1,900W along with a peak wattage of 2,400W. Moreover, the parallel capability (parallel kit included) enables doubling of power output when paired with another similar or compatible unit, providing increased energy capacity and versatility for a wide range of needs.
The inverter generator is rated for a noise of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a normal conversation). Its starting mechanism is based on a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism.
Featuring a 1.1 gallon fuel tank, the SC2400iP can provide power for up to 10 hours on a full tank (with fuel consumption averaging 0.11 gallons per hour).
The SC2400iP generates a clean sine wave: providing <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), delicate electronics can be plugged in its AC outlets safely.
Outlets
The control panel features the following 3 AC outlets:
Additionally, it offers 3 DC outlets: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle making battery charging a breeze and two 5V USB ports (USB-A) perfect for conveniently charging mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices.
Despite not having the 'RV Ready' status, this A-iPower generator provides the benefit of convenient RV compatibility through its L5-30R receptacle, enabling you to easily power your RV using an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor (included).
Portability
Since the A-iPower SC2400iP is an inverter generator, its closed design (L22 x W14 x H20 in) not only provides an aesthetic advantage but also contributes to reduced noise levels compared to conventional, open frame devices. This type of design is the most modern and convenient way to recreationally generate power.
Weighing 51.8 lbs, the SC2400iP is easily handled, ensuring it can go wherever your power needs are. Furthermore, thanks to its set of 2 wheels (⌀4") and its telescopic handle, shifting the generator once it's placed is a breeze.
Features
A digital data center, one of the features of the SC2400iP's control panel, gives you information on the lifetime run hours, fuel level, frequency, power output and voltage, and thus, is helpful for the monitoring of its activity and status.
In addition to this info, the device's light indicators will illuminate to indicate if the generator is overloaded, the generator is ready and its oil levels are insufficient.
Security-wise, this product benefits from an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, which gives you a complete peace of mind when using it.
It also includes a carbon monoxide sensor. This sensor is designed to monitor the level of carbon monoxide present during the generator's operation. If the generator is positioned incorrectly and carbon monoxide levels rise to an unsafe level, the generator will automatically shut down.
Beyond the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to assist with setup, the A-iPower SC2400iP ships with supplementary accessories: oil, RV adapter, tool kit, battery charging cables and funnel.
The A-iPower SC2400iP versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the A-iPower SC2400iP compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 1500 and 2500 W).
- At a weight of 51.8 pounds, the A-iPower SC2400iP places in the expected weight range of the inverter generators in the 1500-2500 rated wattage range. If weight is an important consideration for you, the Genmax GM2000i stands out as one of the top contenders in this power category, with a dry weight of 34.2 pounds.
- When stacked up against other devices of similar running wattage, this inverter generator's lowest possible noise rating of 62 dBA places it in the louder category. If you wish to prioritize minimal noise, the Honda EU2200i stands out as one of the quietest options among generators of similar power, with a rating of 48 dBA.
- At a 25% load, the SC2400iP offers up to 10 hours of runtime on a full tank, placing it within the average autonomy range among inverter generators of similar power level. Furthermore, considering the run times, one of the generators which have a roughly same power output, with the highest autonomy, is the DuroMax XP2300iH, as it provides up to 13 hours.
- Run time is crucial, but it heavily relies on the fuel tank's capacity. Thus, considering fuel efficiency alongside is essential. This inverter generator has an average fuel consumption among comparably powerful devices, as it reaches 0.11 GPH (gallon per hour) at a 25% load. If you wish to further improve in the area of fuel efficiency, the Westinghouse iGen2800, which boasts with a gas consumption of only 0.08 GPH, may be the right generator for you.
