Power & Run Time

The Champion 201050

With its dual-fuel technology, the powerful and versatile Champion 201050 provides an output of 120V. While gasoline-powered, it gives a running wattage of 3,000W along with a peak wattage of 4,000W. While propane-powered, it provides 2,700 rated watts and 4,000 starting watts. Furthermore, its parallel capability (ParaLink (opens in a new tab) not included) allows power output to double when connected to another similar or compatible unit, ensuring expanded energy capacity and reliability for various applications.

At a noise rating of 64 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a normal conversation), the inverter generator is started via a manual recoil starter system. Champion’s EZ Start Dial lets you intuitively start the engine with easy access to all the controls you need.

In terms of running time, the 201050, equipped with a 1.54 gallon fuel tank, is capable of running continuously for up to 10 hours on a full gasoline tank (with fuel consumption estimated at around 0.15 gallons per hour). When utilizing propane, it provides up to 25 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.19 GPH) of operation.

Thanks to its low <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the 201050 produces a clean sine wave output, making it safe for your sensitive electronics when utilizing the AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel features the following 3 AC outlets:

Moreover, it comes equipped with 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle with which charging your batteries is made easy.

With its TT-30R receptacle (TT standing for 'Travel Trailer'), this Champion generator is RV Ready, perfectly suited for powering recreational vehicles.

Portability

The Champion 201050 is distinguished by its enclosed inverter generator design (L17.9 x W11.7 x H19.7 in), providing improved aesthetics and quieter performance compared to traditional, open frame units. The design follows the contemporary trends and is perfect for recreationally generating power.

The 201050's dry weight of 51.8 lbs lets you use its power anywhere needed. Furthermore, moving the 201050 from A to B is made easier thanks to its convenient handle (molded in the case), which greatly improves grip.

Features

The 201050's control panel

Some light indicators allow you to instantly see if the generator is ready, the generator is overloaded and the oil level is too low.

A built-in fuel gauge allows for a quick, easy and convenient check of the fuel level of the inverter generator.

Regarding security, the generator comes with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, providing peace of mind during operation.

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.

Besides the classic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to get you promptly started, the Champion 201050 also comes with some accessories: oil, propane hose and funnel are included. An official running cover is also available, as a separate purchase.
