Description

Zoom on the A-iPower SC2400iP

To sum up, the A-iPower SC2400iP is a quiet, compact and lightweight portable inverter generator tailored for:

  • Camping and tailgating buffs looking to enhance their experience
  • Amateur DIY lovers
  • RV travellers wishing to enhance their freedom and nomad lifestyle

In the sections ahead, the power characteristics, availability of various outlets, the portability, and any additional features of the device shall be discussed.

Power & Run Time

The A-iPower SC2400iP in use

The A-iPower SC2400iP

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. Additionally, the parallel capability (parallel kit included) facilitates doubling of power output when linked to another similar or compatible unit, offering enhanced energy capacity and reliability for diverse requirements.

Operating with a noise level of 52 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a quiet suburb), the inverter generator starts up via a traditional recoil pull-start mechanism.

With its 1.1 gallon fuel tank, the SC2400iP can operate for up to 10 hours when fully fueled (with fuel usage averaging around 0.11 GPH).

Featuring a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the SC2400iP delivers a clean sine wave, guaranteeing the safety of your sensitive electronics plugged into its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel provides the upcoming 3 AC outlets:

Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R)
120V 30A (L5-30R) receptacle

Furthermore, it showcases 3 DC outlets: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle making battery charging a breeze and two 5V USB ports (USB-A) providing convenient charging capabilities for mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices.

Even if this A-iPower generator isn't quite RV Ready, it still allows for an easy RV connection via an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor (included), thanks to its L5-30R receptacle.

Portability

The A-iPower SC2400iP is an inverter generator and features an encased design with the following dimensions: L22 x W14 x H20 in. This design enhances aesthetics and helps minimize noise levels, distinguishing it from conventional, open frame products. The design follows the contemporary trends and is perfect for recreationally generating power.

The SC2400iP can be taken anywhere with you, thanks to its weight of 51.8 lbs. Additionally, its set of 2 wheels (⌀4") and its telecospic handle enable easy movement of the generator once it's in place.

Features

The SC2400iP's control panel

With a digital data center integrated into its control panel, the SC2400iP provides real-time insights into the fuel level, voltage, power output, lifetime run hours and frequency, enabling easy monitoring of its status and activity.

In addition to this info, the light indicators show you if its oil levels are insufficient, the generator is overloaded and the generator is ready.

As far as security is concerned, the generator can be used with a peace of mind, as it features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker).

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.

Apart from the typical documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), which lets you start it right away, the A-iPower SC2400iP also is packed along with the following accessories: tool kit, RV adapter, oil, 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).

  • Since the generator weighs in at a dry weight of 51.8 lbs, the A-iPower SC2400iP belongs in the expected weight range for inverters which can produce between 1500 and 2500 rated watts. if you wish to prioritize weight, the Genmax GM2000i is one of the top contenders in its power category, weighing only 34.2 pounds.
  • With a lowest possible noise of 52 dBA, this inverter generator places itself amongst the more quiet of the products delivering similar power. If noise emissions are one of your priorities, you may be interested in the Honda EU2200i, one of the least noisy generators similarly powerful as this one, rated for 48 dBA.
  • At a 25% load, the SC2400iP's up to 10 hours of runtime on a full tank fall within the average autonomy range for similarly powerful inverter generators. If you wish to prioritize autonomy, the DuroMax XP2300iH shines as one of the top contenders, offering one of the highest run times among generators with similar power output, totaling up to 13 hours.
  • Though run time is a significant parameter, it's closely tied to the generator's fuel tank size. To get a comprehensive understanding, fuel efficiency must also be taken into account. With an estimated fuel consumption of 0.11 GPH at a 25% load, this inverter generator aligns with the average gasoline usage range of comparable products. If you are concerned with gasoline efficiency, having a fuel consumption of just 0.08 GPH, the DuroMax XP2300iH is a device you could look out for.
