The Gentech EP8000HSR is an 8kVA single phase petrol generator powered by a Honda GX390 engine with recoil start. At 0.8 power factor the 8kVA maximum output is about 6.4kW at 230V, with a 9.5kVA alternator rating.
Key features
- The Honda GX390 and the 8kVA output are aimed at power tools, a compressor and a welder.
- The alternator is rated 9.5kVA against an 8kVA maximum output, so size your load against the 8kVA figure.
- Recoil start works from a pull cord with no starter battery to look after.
- Two 15A outlets let you split the work between two leads, a compressor on one and lighting on the other.
- Single phase 230V output suits ordinary tools, lighting and appliances without any three phase wiring.
The 6.1 litre tank runs about 2.36 hours at 80% load, using about 2.58 L/h, so a long job needs a refuel part way through, with the engine stopped and cooled first. Noise is 74 dBA at 7 m.
What it will run
At 0.8 power factor the 8kVA maximum is about 6.4kW, so total the running load of everything on at once and stay below that, with headroom. It typically suits power tools, a compressor or a welder, workshop lighting and a fridge or freezer. Motors draw a larger surge at start, so allow extra for compressors and pumps, and check each appliance's compliance plate for its rated watts or amps. A 15A outlet cannot supply more than 15A, so give heavy loads an outlet each. Backing up a home goes through an inlet and changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician. Send us your load list and we will help you work out whether it covers the job.
The EP8000HSR suits site sheds and multi-tool days, workshops, compressor and welder work, farm jobs, and standby power for home essentials.
