The Gentech EP5900HSR pairs a Honda GX340 engine and recoil start with a 5.9kVA single phase alternator. Maximum output is 5.9kVA at 0.8 power factor, which is about 4.7kW, at 230V.
Key features
- The Honda GX340 drives the 5.9kVA alternator, a set aimed at builders and tradies running small power tools.
- Recoil start works from a pull cord with no battery, so there is nothing to keep topped up before a job.
- Two 15A outlets give separate connection points for two leads, for example a saw and a work light.
- Output is 230V single phase, so standard single phase tools and lighting connect without conversion.
- Warranty is 24 months on the frame and alternator and 36 months on the Honda GX engine.
At 80% load the engine uses about 2.35 L/h, which gives about 2.6 hours from the 6.1 litre tank, so a full day on site means refuelling more than once. Noise is 68 dBA at 7 m.
What it will run
Applying the 0.8 power factor to the 5.9kVA maximum gives about 4.7kW of usable output. Work from the combined running load of the equipment you will use together and keep a margin below that figure. Typically that covers several power tools on a job, work lights, a fridge or freezer, or a water pump. Starting surges are higher than running loads, particularly for pumps, compressors and larger saws, so allow for them; the compliance plate on each appliance gives its rated watts or amps. A 15A outlet cannot supply more than 15A, so spread heavier tools across both. For home backup, a licensed electrician installs the inlet and changeover switch. Tell us what you plan to run: send us your load list and we will check it against the output.
The EP5900HSR suits builders and tradespeople running power tools on site, farm sheds and pumps, event and stall power, and backup for home essentials.
