Cobra IG32ESI 3200w / 4kVA Portable Inverter Generator 230v

The Cobra IG32ESi is a 3.2 kW / 4 kVA portable inverter generator with 230 V output and electric start.

Inverter sets re-synthesise their output rather than taking it straight from the alternator, producing a cleaner waveform than a conventional generator of the same rating. That is what makes them suitable for laptops, test gear, chargers and control electronics, which a conventional set can disturb or damage.

They also vary engine speed with demand, so they are quieter and use less fuel at part load. 230 V single phase connects directly to ordinary equipment; if your tools are 110 V site-spec you will need a transformer, and that load needs allowing for — see the sizing guide.
