MADE TO ORDER ON 12-16 WEEK LEAD TIME The Hyundai DHY12500SE Diesel Generator is powered by a 20HP, 4 stroke, air-cooled Hyundai diesel engine that produces 12.5kVA/10.0kW of power, making it a reliable source of backup power. The generator is one of Hyundai’s ‘silent’ range, coming housed in a low noise, weather-proof canopy for quieter operation, making it ideal for use in domestic or low noise areas. The unit is also equipped with wheels which make it portable if necessary. With a large 60 litre fuel tank, this is a long run generator with a running time of up to 18 hours under ¼ load. It can also be run off red diesel which makes it even more cost effective. This generator can be used to power differing electrical equipment as it comes with 1 x 230V 32A socket and 1 x 230V 63A socket. It also comes with an AVR Alternator to make sure your generator produces clean energy, making it suitable for charging sensitive electronic equipment such as TVs and laptops.
