7kVA Gentech Three Phase Petrol Generator EP7000HSRE-3

The Gentech EP7000HSRE-3 is a 7kVA three phase petrol generator powered by a Honda GX390 engine, started electrically or by recoil. It has a rated output of 5.6kW and a maximum of 7kVA at 0.8 power factor, and supplies 415V three phase through a 20A five-pin outlet plus two 15A single phase outlets.

Key features

• Electric start from an on-board battery suits pumps and machinery that start several times a day, and recoil is also provided.
• The 20A three phase five-pin outlet supplies 415V to three phase motors, so irrigation pumps and workshop machines can run where there is no mains.
• Two 15A single phase outlets run site lighting and hand tools from the same generator.
• The Honda GX390 engine is rated at 11.7 HP, and an auto decompressor eases the pull when you do start by recoil.
• The Honda GX engine has 36 months of warranty, and the frame and alternator have 24 months.

Fuel use is about 2.44 L/h at 80% load, so the 6.1 litre tank lasts about 2.5 hours and a long job means refuelling part way through. Noise is 69 dBA at 7 m.

What it will run

The 5.6kW rated output covers the three phase and single phase outlets together. Keep the combined running load below it, with headroom, and balance three phase loads across the phases as evenly as you can, checking each motor's nameplate for its rated and starting current. A small 415V pump or workshop machine with lighting and a few hand tools is a typical fit. Starting surges are higher than running loads, so allow extra, and read the compliance plate on each appliance. Fixed wiring connections need an inlet and changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician, who can also assess the connected load. Send us your load list and we will help you pick the right size.

The EP7000HSRE-3 suits irrigation pumps, workshop machinery and 415V motors on farms, rural blocks and remote jobs, and tool and lighting supply on sites without mains.
