2kVA (2000W) Hyundai Petrol Inverter Generator HY2000Si

The Hyundai HY2000Si is a 2kVA single phase petrol inverter generator with a maximum output of 2000W. It is driven by a Hyundai IC80 OHV (overhead valve) engine, and its inverter delivers pure sine wave power suited to electronics such as laptops, phones and TVs as well as everyday household appliances. Engine oil is included.

Key features

• Pure sine wave inverter output: clean, stable power for chargers, TVs, laptops and other electronics, plus fridges, fans and lighting.
• 2000W maximum output: roughly 8.3 A at 240 V (approximate), enough to run several small loads at once.
• Hyundai IC80 OHV engine: an overhead valve petrol engine driving the inverter.
• 3.8 litre fuel tank: a quoted 4 hours at 75% load between refills.
• 58 dB(A) at 7 m: a measured noise figure you can check against campground and site limits.
• Engine oil included: one less thing to buy before the first start.

The HY2000Si runs from a 3.8 litre petrol tank, with a quoted run time of 4 hours at 75% load (about 1500W). That works out to roughly 0.95 litres per hour at that load (approximate), and lighter loads typically use less fuel per hour. Noise is rated at 58 dB(A) measured at 7 metres. Outlet details are not listed in the specifications below, so check the product images or contact us if you need a particular socket.

What it will run

Within 2000W, the HY2000Si typically handles a household fridge or freezer, LED lighting, a TV, fans, and phone and laptop charging, together or in rotation. Fridges, freezers, pumps and power tools draw a short start-up surge, often several times their running watts, so leave headroom for the largest motor connected. Kettles, toasters, hair dryers and many microwaves draw 1000 to 2400W on their own, so run them one at a time with little else connected, or not at all if their rating is above 2000W. On a trade site it typically suits battery chargers, drills, jigsaws and work lights; larger saws, grinders and compressors may exceed it. Always check the rating plate on each appliance before connecting it.

The HY2000Si covers several jobs: keeping essentials running at home through a blackout, powering a caravan or campsite setup for lights, a fridge and device charging, supplying market stalls and outdoor events, and running light trade tools where there is no mains supply. Run it outdoors with clear ventilation. A generator must never be plugged into a house power point; connection to house wiring is only via an inlet and changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician.
