{"product_id":"8kva-able-diesel-generator-pl8d1","title":"8kVA ABLE Diesel Generator PL8D1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe PL8D1 is an 8kVA single phase diesel generator rated 8kVA (8kW) prime and 8.8kVA (8.8kW) standby at 240V, 50Hz and a power factor of 1.0. It is powered by a three cylinder, water-cooled diesel running at 1500 rpm, which drives a four-pole brushless synchronous alternator with AVR. The 12 volt electric start comes with its battery, and protection is an IP67-enclosed RCD plus over current protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith a power factor of 1.0, the 8kVA prime rating is also 8kW, so the full rating is available as real power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA four-pole alternator turning at 1500 rpm produces the 50Hz supply, and the brushless design means there are no brushes to wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe AVR keeps the output voltage steady while appliances cycle on and off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ComAp AMF5 controller has a two-wire remote start input, so an external switch or controller can start the set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree 15A outlets and one 32A outlet, all 240V, are rated IP66 (dust tight and protected against powerful water jets), and hardwire terminals are fitted for a fixed connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe canopy is lockable, which restricts access to the set, and it is sound deadened with a weather-resistant powder coat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tank is a 70 litre single skin tank (not bunded). At prime load the set uses about 2.3 litres of diesel an hour, which gives about 30 hours of running on a full tank. Noise is 65 dB(A) at 7 m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it will run\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 8kW prime the PL8D1 supplies about 33A at 240V. Typically that suits lighting, fridges and freezers, a pressure pump, power tools and an air conditioner, as long as the combined running load stays within the rating. Motors in pumps, compressors and air conditioners draw several times their running current when they start, so allow headroom for the largest one. Check each appliance's compliance plate for its running and starting power, then add the figures up. For backing up a home, the connection goes through an inlet and changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician. Send us your load list and we can help with the sizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PL8D1 suits homes, farmhouses and farm buildings, small workshops and cafes, as home backup or standby power during a mains outage. With both prime and standby ratings it can also run for regular periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-position: outside; padding-left: 1.5em; margin-left: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8kVA (8kW) prime, 8.8kVA (8.8kW) standby @ 1.0PF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33 Amps (prime)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-cylinder diesel, 1500rpm, water cooled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlternator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single phase 4-pole brushless synchronous alternator with AVR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eController:\u003c\/strong\u003e ComAp AMF5, two-wire remote start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStart type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 volt electric, battery included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhase \/ voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single phase, 240V, 50Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel tank:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 L single skin (not bunded)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel use:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.3 L\/hr at prime load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRun time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 hrs continuous at prime load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNoise level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 dB(A) @ 7m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 x 15 Amp and 1 x 32 Amp 240V IP66 outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardwire terminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection:\u003c\/strong\u003e RCD to Australian Standards (IP67 enclosed), over current protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCanopy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lockable, sound deadened, weather-resistant powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (L x W x H):\u003c\/strong\u003e 139 x 73 x 108 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 590 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 months or 1,000 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the ABLE Power range at Gen4Sale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABLE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67546720698559,"sku":"PL8D1","price":5879.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7409\/5295\/files\/ABLE-PL8D1.jpg?v=1791155213","url":"https:\/\/gen4sale.com.au\/products\/8kva-able-diesel-generator-pl8d1","provider":"Gen4Sale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
