CAT INV1250 is a lightweight portable inverter generator designed for outdoor work and play. It runs on a reliable Caterpillar 60cc OHV with a max 3600-RPM.
This 120V @ 60 Hz CAT generator produces 1250 Starting Watts and 1000 Running Watts. At 50% load, the runtime is 7.9 hours. It runs quietly at 52 – 61 dBA making it a neighborhood friendly option.
This 1 kW generator has a splash lubrication system that increases maintenance intervals. Recommended oil is SAE30 or 10W-30. When the oil level is low the engine protects itself by shutting down.
The control panel with LED illumination improves visibility in low-light conditions. Indicator lights light up in the event of low oil, overload, and when running.
The plastic fuel tank stores 0.82 gallons / 3.18 liters of unleaded gasoline > 87 octane.
CAT INV1250 produces high-quality power with less than 3% THD that is ideal for sensitive electronics that we use daily.
The alternator has idle control that adjusts the engine speed to the load without dropping power to other appliances that can damage the product.
