Output on gennies is always less. At our static we have a backup Briggs and Stratton 3kva, output is 2.6 kva. Our 1kva Kippor outputs 800 watts.
Well that's it I am getting one of these:hug:

Mark asked a simple question "Is 1Kva = to 1000 watts??" and the answer to that is yes.
As you have all stated the nature of the load whether it be resistive, inductive or capacitive affects the actual power, by a PF corrector, 0 , +ve or -ve, resulting in the actual available being taken as 800w using an average PF figure of 0.80
However, 1 Kva will always be 1000 watts.

Mark,
I bought a Kipor 2000 about three years ago and have only run it for approximately three hours; so it is more or less 'as new'. As I don't use it, I am willing to sell it. It is not the 'yellow' Kipor but the red one. I don't really know the technical differences but I believe that the more expensive yellow one has a better controlled output. The red one *may* not be suitable for directly running sensitive electronic mains equipment from; others may know more accurate detail: I guess it depends on *exactly* what you want to do with it. I live only about 3 miles from Southampton, up the M3, so if you may be interested you can come and see and hear it running with no obligation.
Regards,
Harvey
