Description

The Champion Power Equipment 4500-Watt Open Frame Inverter Generator is one of the most innovative products on the market. Our advanced technology and innovative design will improve the way you power your life.

Thanks to CO Shield® technology, you can be sure that you and your family are protected from the dangers of carbon monoxide. Our CO Shield® sensor tests itself automatically and lasts up to a decade. If operated in inappropriate locations, the UL-recognized sensor will alert and shut off the generator automatically before dangerous levels of carbon monoxide accumulate. This indicates the unit should be moved to an open-air environment with plenty of circulation. This unit meets the ANSI/PGMA G300-2018 requirements to ensure the highest level of safety and performance.

First, we cut the noise level in half by integrating Quiet Technology digital components used in more advanced inverters. Then, we created an efficient mechanical design to decrease the overall footprint and weight by 20 percent. A quiet, lightweight addition to your RV and a cost-effective power solution, this Open Frame Inverter is smaller, quieter, lighter…BETTER!

Champion’s recoil start features Cold Start Technology, plus the reliable 224cc Champion engine produces 4500 starting watts and 3650 running watts, and runs for 22 hours at 25% load when the 4-gallon fuel tank is full.

With a 0.6-quart oil capacity (included 10W-30) and a low oil shut-off sensor, this inverter operates at 64 dBA from 23 feet, which is a bit louder than normal speech.

Our Quick Touch Panel offers fast access to all your controls. The Intelligauge with Power Meter monitors voltage, frequency and operating hours with ease, while Economy Mode monitors power consumption in real time to reduce electrical load. As the electrical load is reduced, the engine idles lower, providing quieter operation, extended engine life and higher fuel economy.

The covered outlets in this RV Ready inverter include a 120V 30A locking outlet (L5-30R), a 120V 20A household duplex outlet (5-20R) plus a 12V automotive-style outlet, and a handy dual port USB adapter you can use to power your phone, laptop, or similar device.

The optional Parallel Kit (sold separately), with included standard 50-amp RV outlet, provides a clip-on connection which allows you to increase output by connecting up to two 2800-watt or higher inverters or digital hybrids.

Buy this fully assembled EPA certified generator with confidence – Champion Support and our nationwide network of service centers will back up your purchase with a 3-year limited warranty and FREE lifetime technical support.
