The Honda EM1600 is AC/DC portable generator with 1.6 KVA of maximum power, 1.4 KVA of rated power and 60Hz of rated frequency. The EM1600 generator is available with AC 120V and DC 12V rated voltage. The direct current terminals can be used for charging 12-volt automotive-type batteries only up to 8.3A.
The Honda EM1600 generator uses the GE200 single-cylinder gasoline engine with 197 cm3, (12.0 cu·in) of displacement. The engine has a side-valve (L-head) design, horizontal carburetor with butterfly valve, and transistorized magneto ignition system. The G200 engine’s compression ratio rating is 6.5:1, cylinder bore and piston stroke are 67.0 mm (2.64 in) and 56.0 mm (2.20 in), respectively.
The engine produced 5.5 PS (4.0 KW; 5.5 HP) at 3,600 rpm of maximum horsepower.
