The Honda GH5000EH is a hire spec, electric start petrol generator with a single phase output of 6kVA (5kW), a Honda GX-series single cylinder engine and an AC synchronous brushless alternator supplying 240V at 50Hz. Its two 15A outlets are rated IP66 and fitted with circuit breakers and RCD protection.
Key features
- Electric start gets the engine running without a pull cord, which saves effort when a set is started and stopped through the day.
- The two 15A 240V outlets are rated IP66, meaning dust tight and protected against powerful water jets.
- Circuit breakers protect against overload, and the RCD cuts the supply when it senses earth leakage.
- Harmonic distortion is less than 5%, which suits sensitive electronics such as laptops and chargers.
- A large roll frame surrounds the set to protect it from knocks on site.
- A 3 year limited engine warranty applies to the Honda engine.
The 6.1 litre tank runs the set for 3 hours at full load and 4.2 hours at 60% load, about 2 and 1.5 litres an hour. Noise is 72 dB(A) at 7 m.
What it will run
The 5kW rating (about 21A at 240V) typically suits a site compound with lighting, a pump, a compressor, a fridge and a few hand tools, with their running loads added up and kept under the rating. A 15A outlet is good for about 3.6kW at 240V, so one heavy tool sits on one outlet and the rest on the other. Pumps, compressors and grinders surge at start, so leave headroom; compliance plates show each appliance's rated watts or amps. Any link to a building's wiring must go through a changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician. Send us your load list and we will help you size it.
The GH5000EH suits equipment hire fleets, construction and civil sites, events and maintenance crews who want RCD protected outlets and electric start.
