Will a 2000 Watt Generator Run 1 AC

[thomas nihart]

The inverter in the context of that Honda generator means the gas motor is
connected to a dc generator which is then changed (by the inverter) to the ac
you will use, This seems backwards, but there is a good reason for that. It
allows the gas engine to to vary its rpm (less noise and fuel usage) depending
on the load. The inverter is very stable as to voltage and frequency, P.S. a
good generator

An inverter converts between DC (like a battery provides) current and
AC (like your house uses). Since generators usually produce AC
current, the inverter would provide, AC-->DC, to allow use of 12V
items/circuits (as on a boat or RV) or to charge batteries.

An inverter is also used to convert battery power, DC-->AC so that
110 v appliances can be used. This is odd-sounding in relation to a
generator set, but a more extensive check of the specifications may
explain this particular arrangement.
