The ED8500KSRE is a single phase diesel generator with a maximum output of 8.5kVA at 0.8 power factor. A Kohler KD425 diesel engine runs at 3000 rpm and drives a 9.5kVA-rated alternator at 230V, and the engine has electric start. No RCD is fitted as standard.
Key features
- A 34 L tank runs the set for about 13 hours at 80% load, enough for a full working day at that load without refuelling.
- Electric start brings the Kohler engine up without pulling a cord.
- The alternator is rated at 9.5kVA against an 8.5kVA maximum output, so size your loads to the lower figure.
- Two 15 Amp outlets take tools, lights and appliances straight from the set.
- Kohler covers the engine for 12 months, and Gentech covers the frame and alternator for 24 months.
- The optional ELB IP56 RCD (32 Amp) can be added for earth leakage protection.
Fuel use is about 2.60 L/h at 80% load, and lighter loads use less. Noise is 80 dBA at 7 m.
What it will run
At 8.5kVA and 0.8 power factor, the ED8500KSRE gives about 6.8kW, which is about 28 amps in total. It typically runs lights, a fridge and freezer, pumps, a workshop compressor and common power tools, as long as the combined load stays under that figure. Motors draw several times their running load at start, so allow headroom for the largest motor and read the compliance plate on each appliance. To power a property during an outage, connect through an inlet and changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician. Send us your load list and we will help with sizing.
The ED8500KSRE suits workshops, farms, pumping and refrigeration backup, small commercial premises and building sites. It is built for standby use and is not rated for prime or continuous duty.
