The Honda EB3500X is AC portable generator with 3.5 KVA of maximum power, 3.0 KVA of rated power and 60Hz of rated frequency. The EB3500X generator is available with AC 120/240V rated voltage.
The Honda EB3500X generator uses a single-cylinder Honda GX240 gasoline engine 242 cc (14.8 cu.in.). The engine has an overhead valve (OHV) design. The GX240 uses a horizontal carburetor with a butterfly valve and transistorized magneto ignition. The cylinder bore and the piston stroke are 73.0 mm (2.9 in) and 58.0 mm (2.3 in), respectively. The compression ratio rating is 8.2:1.
The GX240 produced 8.2 PS (6.0 KW; 8.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm of maximum horsepower and torque was 17.0 Nm (1.7 kg·m, 12 ft·lb) at 2,500 rpm.
