Cummins Onan P4500iDF Generator

Description

Cummins’ Onan 7.3HP P4500iDF inverter generator is powerful, portable, and CARB (California Air Resources Board) certified. It is a dual fuel inverter-generator, able to operate with gasoline or propane. It has a 3.5 gallon gasoline tank built in, and a propane tank can be attached using the included propane hose.

When powered with gasoline, the P4500iDF can generate up to 3.7kW continuous power or surge up to 4.5kW. When running with propane, it generates up to 3.33kW continuous power and surges up to 4.05kW. This makes it ideal for powering whole RVs or construction equipment.

As a CARB certified generator, the P4500iDF adheres to strict Californian guidelines governing the emissions of harmful gasses. This certification means the generator is legal to operate in California and other states that observe CARB standards.

The Onan P4500iDF is an inverter generator, meaning the motor runs at varying speeds and a built-in inverter converts the power to the proper voltage and frequency for the AC outputs. This allows greater efficiency than traditional generators, which continuously run at the maximum power to get a steady 120V at 60Hz even when less power is needed. 

The display on the 4500iDF’s front panel indicates remaining run time at the current load demand, the total voltage output, and troubleshooting information like fuel and oil levels. The front panel also has all the necessary startup buttons, including the push-to-start button. 

This button makes it easy to both start and stop the generator. A single press turns the generator on, and a single press turns the generator off. This remote start generator also comes with a remote control key fob to start or stop the generator up to 99ft away.

The 4500W Onan generator includes one 30A outlet for RVs or campers. There are also two 120V 20A (NEMA 5-20R) receptacles for household appliances and two USB-A ports for phones, tablets, or other portable devices. As an inverter generator, the P4500iDF delivers power with reduced fluctuations in frequency or voltage, making it safe for sensitive electronic devices. 

This generator runs as quietly as 52dB (decibels) when operating in ECO mode, a feature that drops the motor RPM (Rotations per Minute) to the minimum required to power the current loads. This is ideal for small loads, and when used, conserves fuel and decreases noise. ECO mode should be turned off for larger appliances like A/C units or electric pumps. 

The Onan P4500iDF is designed for easy transportation. With an empty weight of 104.7lbs, these generators are light enough for two people to lift onto a truck or other platform, and they are equipped with a telescopic handle and sturdy wheels, making it easy for one person to move.

This generator can power multiple devices at once. At a campsite, a single generator can easily run a fridge, a 15000BTU A/C unit, and other small devices simultaneously for about 5 hours on one tank of gasoline. On a construction site, a single generator can simultaneously power a grinder, a table saw, and a pipe threader for about 2.5 hours. 

Choose the Onan 4500iDF for a reliable and portable generator for use at a construction site, RV, or home.
