I have a 1kva Yamaha and just bought a small induction cooker model C202-20D5
Will the gen be able to handle it? Don't want to try till I know.
Thanks in advance.

What is the power requirements for the cooker ie amps or watts?
In any case if the power draw is too high for the Yamaha the overload protection will trip.

Annie
You will need to provide more info on the induction cooker - make would help.
If you have a look on the bottom of the cooker, you will find a sticker with the specifications of the unit on it. Take a photo and post it and you will get the answer that you seek.
Cheers
Anthony

Sorry Annie,
Your gennie won't run your cooktop. It simply doesn't have enough power.
Cheers

For future reference Annie, watts and VA are roughly the same ie 1kva (1000va)= roughly 1kw (1000w). I know these are not exact because power factor affects it but near enough for the layman.

All those twos in the model no. would lead me to believe that it is 2000w and thus your yammie would not be able to run it, they draw a lot of juice those things.

I've got a single element Induction Cooker and it draws 1500watts so not likely I'd say.

Heating or cooling anything takes a heap of energy. That model number doesn't show anything up on a Google. As previous poster said. Photo of the spec plate would be handy.

Just plug it in and try the generator. If the cooker tries to draw more than the genny is capable of, the overload will trip and prevent any damage either way.
I don't like your chances of the 1 KVA being able to do the job.

Even a 2KVA genny will struggle with it. You need at least a 2.5KVA to run it.

Yep...as mentioned, its all in the numbers...power requirement of the appliance will be on the specs placard...usually underneath...and....the 1K Yammie is only happy with 900w continuous supply (also in those specs)...the 1000w capability is brief. 'Bushelectrics' tells us that heating things need lots of watts...other electro-thingies, not so much ?? (did I say...I'm no technician ?).

Yep....a small portable butane stove is probably the easiest solution when off mains power....a number of popular brands all offer basically the same stove, such as
this one. Butane burns hotter than LPG, so they are fast cookers.....cheap and very effective....the gas cans in multi-packs are also quite cheap when on special. As with all such appliances, one has to take good note of the safety instructions.

But make sure you use them at warmer temps or warm the gas cans at night as they do not work very
well at all when temps get below about 5c.
So breakfast might take a while on cold mornings.

Hehe thanks Garry! Will take note of cold mornings with the cans, I like breaky when I want it ...don't like waiting too long.

They still work just not all that
well until the gas cans get some heat in them - snuggle up to them in your sleeping bag.
Some cans are better than others as the butane mix of gases can be different - the blue cans you used to get through Woolworths used to be a bit better in low temps but I dont think they are available any longer.
So just get what is available.
