Honda generators give you optimal paralleling capability to double your power output without the need to trade in for a larger, less portable generator.

Here's a simple guide on how to connect two Honda EU2000i generators to optimise your power output. Let's have a look:

How To Parallel Two Honda Generators

Parallel capability is an extra benefit of inverter generator technology, allowing users to connect two units using a specialised cable link. You can link two EU10i’s, EU22i’s, two EU30u-Handy's, or two EU30is’ generators together to double your power output, as long as you are connecting two identical units.

Here’s how to safely connect two Honda EU2000i generators together:

Step 1

Ensure both engine switches are off. Next, connect the L parallel cable to the left parallel outlet, then connect the R cable to the right parallel outlet.

Step 2

Attach the ground terminal of each parallel cable to the corresponding ground terminal on each generator. Fasten each screw tightly.

Step 3

Start each generator, making sure the green indicator light appears on each unit. If using the eco throttle setting, ensure that both generators are set to ‘Eco Throttle On’.

Note: Remember to only use one generator as the master, connecting all appliances to one unit only.

Step 4

After connecting and monitoring your Honda generators, you can begin to load them. Start by plugging in the equipment with the highest power demand, such as air conditioners, refrigerators or power tools.

Then, you can gradually add more appliances - just be sure not to exceed the generators maximum wattage capacity.

Can I Parallel Two Different Size Generators?

No. You can only parallel two identical Honda units together. However, there is an exception when trying to connect an EU2000i and the EU2200i, as long as it's within a specific serial number range:

• EAAJ-2032188 – EAAJ-9999999
• EACT-1000001 – EACT-999999

We always recommend you check with a Honda generator supplier if you are unsure. Alternatively, Blue Diamond Machinery supplies a Honda EU22i 2kVa combo package with parallel cable for your convenience.
