Honda 2200 generator

(1/3) > >>

go4it:
I have a honda 2200 watt generator with  2 110v outlets. Each one has a 15 am fuse   Some of my tools don't want to run and blow the fuse. Does anyone know if perhaps these generators function as two 1100 watt generators feeding the plugs separately and if I could make up a plug to draw from both outlets feeding one electric motor.

joestue:
If it is a 120/240v generator you can reconnect the coils for 120 only. And then you can safely pull 20 amps from it.

If it's already 120v only then just change the breaker.

go4it:
It's only 120 volt and I am worried if I put in a 30 amp fuse instead of 15 amp I will set up something that causes it to let out magic smoke.

joestue:
A 20 amp circuit breaker is about right.

OperaHouse:
Don't worry about it, the engine will die first. I built a garage with a 2250W generator and it a challenge. It probably had more power than yours.
