Power & Run Time

The Westinghouse iGen5000c

Westinghouse iGen5000c is equipped with a 224 cc Westinghouse OHV 4-stroke engine, running on gasoline and providing 120V, boasting a running wattage of 3,900W alongside a starting wattage of 5,000W. Moreover, the parallel capability (parallel cord (opens in a new tab) not included) enables power output to increase 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 52 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a refrigerator). Its starting mechanisms include a manual recoil starter system and a convenient and easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). Additionally, the iGen5000c features remote starting, offering users increased convenience (key fob included).

The iGen5000c boasts a fuel tank capable of holding 3.4 gallons, allowing it to run continuously for up to 18 hours (with fuel usage averaging around 0.19 gallons per hour).

With a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the iGen5000c delivers a clean sine wave, essential for safeguarding your delicate electronics when plugged into its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel is equipped with the following 3 AC outlets:

Additionally, it features 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (USB-A) with which you may charge electronics, for example mobile phones or tablets, conveniently.

Thanks to its TT-30R receptacle (TT stands for 'Travel Trailer'), this Westinghouse generator is RV Ready.

Portability

With an inverter generator design, the Westinghouse iGen5000c features a closed construction (L24.5 x W17.5 x H20 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring reduced noise levels, offering a distinct advantage over standard, open frame generators. The featured design follows the latest trends and is ideal for easy and recreational use.

The 105.8 lbs of the iGen5000c's dry weight enables you to use it anywhere you will ever need. Additionally, its set of 2 wheels (⌀5.5") and its telescopic handle enable easy movement of the generator once it's in place.

Features

The iGen5000c's control panel

For easy status and activity monitoring of the iGen5000c, its control panel integrates a digital data center, offering insights into the remaining run time, voltage, lifetime run hours, fuel level and power output.

In addition to this info, several light indicators serve to show you when the generator is on overload, the generator is ready and its oil levels are insufficient.

In terms of security, the generator features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), ensuring peace of mind during its use.

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 standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to facilitate setup, the Westinghouse iGen5000c features extra accessories: key fob, battery charger, oil, tool kit and funnel. An official running cover and a suitable storage cover are also available, as separate purchases.
