Ford FG2500iS Petrol Inverter Generator

The Ford FG2500iS is a compact petrol inverter generator in the portable, carry-handle class.

Inverter output is conditioned rather than taken straight from the alternator, so it suits sensitive equipment — laptops, cameras, test gear, modern chargers — that a conventional generator of this size can trip or damage. The engine also throttles back when demand falls, which makes it markedly quieter than a fixed-speed set at light load.

That combination of size and noise is why this class is the usual choice where a generator runs near people: events, markets, broadcast, welfare units. It is a light-duty rating and will not start a large induction motor — see the sizing guide if you are matching it to specific equipment.
