Power & Run Time

The Champion 200929

Featuring a 500 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, the Champion 200929 operates using gasoline, providing 120/240V, with a running wattage of 9,500W and a starting wattage of 12,000W.

The generator features a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism and also a hassle-free and practical electric starter (battery included). It is rated for a noise of 74 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a shower). For additional convenience, the 200929 may also be remotely started (key fob included).

With a fuel capacity of 7.7 gallons, the 200929 may run for around 8 hours at 50% load with a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.96 GPH).

The quite high THD (<20%) of the 200929 makes it unsuitable for powering sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

The control panel features the following 6 AC outlets:

For RV owners with a 50-amp service, this Champion unit is RV-ready, boasting a 14-50R outlet. In addition, the 200929's twist-lock L14-30R receptacle makes it transfer switch ready, enabling hassle-free connection to your breaker box for powering your home during outages.

Portability

With dimensions of L28.8 x W27.4 x H25.8 in, the standard open frame design of the Champion 200929 provides stability and easy maintenance access to components, as well as good air circulation. The generator is designed for ideal use outdoors and in rough environments.

Although this generator is technically considered 'portable' (in the sense that it can be moved), its 206 lbs make it incredibly difficult to manually lift and transport. However, its challenging mobility is solved by its wheel kit (⌀9.5") and its folding handle, which will ease its displacement, once it is on the floor.

Features

The 200929's control panel

The control panel of the 200929 includes an Intelligauge meter, providing voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours data, helpful for the monitoring of its status and activity.

Benefiting from its built-in fuel gauge, the generator allows for easy and immediate gas level inspections.

In terms of security, the generator features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, ensuring peace of mind during its use. Champion's built-in surge protector (Volt Guard™) safeguards your equipment and appliances against voltage spikes.

The unit also benefits from the CO Shield™ technology, which monitors accumulation of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) gas produced by the engine's exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Shield™ detects elevated levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine and illuminates a red LED.

While the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), helpful for starting the device promptly, come with the Champion 200929, the following accessories are also included: key fob, oil and funnel.
