The YG2800i is a brushless inverter model from Yamaha’s industrial line. It has a strong output, is quiet, and has a lot to offer. This is perfect for powering tools, lights, and other equipment on the job site. Its 2800 watts is a strong output for a small/ mid sized generator and Yamaha includes many additional features that add ease and convenience to both start up and operation of the YG2800i.

Yamaha gives the YG2800i a 171 cc 5.5 hp OHV engine with the ability to produce maximum of 2800 watts.  It has a max AC current of 20.8/ 23.3 amps @ 120V. In addition, it has a DC output primarily for charging batteries.

In addition, the YG2800i features a sixteen-pole alternator, twenty-four coil stator which improves performance and reduces size. It has an inverter system with pulse width modulation that ensures a steady stream of power.  At 66 pounds, it is very light and easily mobile. Its oil watch system protects against engine damage. The non-fuse AC thermal breaker is another safety tool to prevent overload. Its muffler reduces levels to a range between 60-67 dBA.

Often a generator’s runtime is a very important factor. Refueling is just another task on the job site. Longer runtimes increase efficiency and eliminate unnecessary delays. Many smaller generators have small tanks and short runtimes; however, the YG2800i offers convenience with a lengthy 12.9 hours @ ½ rated load on one full 3.0 gallon tank. This is largely due to the economy control feature, which increases fuel efficiency by lowering engine speeds.

Yamaha backs the YG2800i with a one year limited warranty.
