4kVA (3200W) Hyundai Petrol Inverter Generator HY3200SEi

The Hyundai HY3200SEi is a 4kVA single phase petrol inverter generator with a maximum output of 3.2kW (3200W). It runs a Hyundai DJ170F engine, and its inverter produces pure sine wave power that suits electronics such as laptops, TVs and phone chargers as well as everyday household and trade appliances. Engine oil is included.

Key features

• Pure sine wave inverter output: clean, stable power for electronics alongside fridges, fans, lights and tools.
• 3200W maximum output: roughly 13.3 A at 240 V (approximate), a clear step up from 2kVA class units for running several appliances together.
• Hyundai DJ170F engine: the petrol engine behind the inverter, sized for the 4kVA output.
• 7.8 litre fuel tank: a quoted 7 hours at 50% load, enough to cover an evening and into the night between refills.
• 54 dB at 7 m: a measured noise figure you can check against neighbour, campground and site limits.
• Engine oil included: one less thing to buy before the first start.

The HY3200SEi carries 7.8 litres of petrol and has a quoted run time of 7 hours at 50% load (about 1600W). That is roughly 1.1 litres per hour at that load (approximate); lighter loads typically use less. Noise is rated at 54 dB 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 3200W, the HY3200SEi typically runs a fridge and freezer, LED lighting, TV, fans and device charging at the same time, with room for a microwave or kettle used on its own (check its plate; many draw 1000 to 2400W). Motor loads such as fridges, pumps, compressors and saws draw a short start-up surge, often several times their running watts, so allow headroom for the largest motor connected. On a trade site it typically suits drills, grinders, jigsaws, battery chargers and work lights; check the plate on larger saws and compressors before relying on it. Always confirm each appliance's rating plate and keep the combined load within the maximum.

The HY3200SEi suits home backup for the essentials during an outage, caravan and touring setups that need more than a 2kVA unit can give, market stalls and food vans, and general trade work away from mains power. 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.
