6.5kVA Yanmar Diesel Generator GYD5000E

The GYD5000E is a 6.5kVA (5kW) single phase Yanmar diesel generator at 240V and 50Hz. Its Yanmar L100 is an overhead valve, single cylinder diesel running at 3000 rpm, with recoil and electric start. The alternator is a brushless AC synchronous type with Class H insulation, and the outlets are one 10A and one 15A 240V socket, switched and fitted with thermal overload protection.

Key features

• Recoil and electric start give you two ways to start the engine, so a flat battery does not leave you stuck.
• A 5.5 litre tank gives 3.6 hours at 75% load, so the set suits short outages and intermittent work.
• One 10A and one 15A 240V outlet, both switched with thermal overload protection, let you switch loads on and off at the set and cut out an overloaded circuit.
• A brushless AC synchronous alternator with Class H insulation keeps harmonic distortion below 5%.
• A heavy duty, extra large roll frame guards the engine and alternator against knocks.
• A 2 year limited engine warranty applies.

Noise is 80 dB(A) at 7 m. Engine oil capacity is 1.65 litres.

What it will run

At 5kW (about 20.8A at 240V), the GYD5000E typically runs lighting, fridges and freezers, a pressure pump, device chargers and workshop power tools, with the combined load kept under 5kW. The outlet ratings are not the limit: the two outlets share that output between them. Motors in pumps, compressors and power tools draw a surge at start, so read each appliance's compliance plate and allow for that surge before you rely on the set. A home connection must go through an inlet and changeover switch fitted by a licensed electrician. If you are unsure, send us your load list and we will help with sizing.

The GYD5000E suits farms, workshops, job sites and small businesses, as well as homes that want backup power through an outage. It is built for standby use and is not rated for prime or continuous duty.
