[NSRCA-discussion] Iota 55 power supply questions

[Earl Haury]

I agree with Chad - for a 1 kW Honda. You might consider 2 kW Honda for a little more $ & weight. It will handle (at least)  two Iota 55's & 4 1010's as well as a couple of TX battery chargers with no problem. (If you live in an area that experiences occasional power outages the 2 kW Honda will handle a lot of household items also.)

  Two is not a problem, the Iota 55 will handle two 1010's at full rate and a third set to about 4A (on 10s) when plugged into a household circuit.

  Hooked up to the Honda you wont get the third up to more than around 2.5A before you trip it.  If you want to run the Honda to the max make sure the Eco switch is off and you can get a little more out of it.

  I think the Iota has a 950W input requirement to get its max power, and the Honda is only rated to around 900W continuously or something.
