Honda EG 5500 CL - 5.5 kW Power Generator with AVR - DC 5 kW Single-phase

The EG 5500 CL single phase petrol generator is a product by Honda a brand leader in this sector. This is a professional generator suitable for use in many applications and can meet the needs of businesses.

The generator is a product composed of two fundamental elements such as the engine and the alternator. In the EG 5500 CL both the engine and the alternator are elements of high quality.

This model features the new D-AVR (digital automatic voltage regulator) provides important benefits compared to the traditional AVR as regards the quality of the output current. This technology ensures a greater accuracy of feeding of the electrical equipment and the reduction of the flickering of the lamps.

The Honda GX390 engine represents a secure reliability and large engine performance and is the top of the range between the gasoline engines used for these products.

The Honda engine and the alternator make of the EG 5500 CL a product that is really positioned at the top among the products of its kind.

Thanks to these two factors, this generator is characterized by 90% of other generators on the market that are of Chinese origin with anonymous and unmarked motors and alternators.

The generator is not designed for energy production, charging or maintaining batteries for the photovoltaic or solar panels systems (or similar); this can seriously damage the generator.

The Honda GX 390
engine is professional, powerful and with the latest generation technology in OHV valve head.

Features:

The Honda “GX” series is highly professional and was developed for heavy duty jobs in building and agricultural field for generators, welders etc., reliable and long life.

Many other Honda engines on the market mount the "GP" series which was developed for limited and domestic use and is qualitatively lower than the first and with a lower cost.

The HONDA engines of the GX Series stand out as the "TOP-QUALITY ENGINES ON THE MARKET”.

The motor is PROVIDED WITHOUT OIL.
Make sure to carefully read the instructions manual before starting the unit.

Rated Power: 13.0 HP

* The correct term would be "Commercial” Power, meaning the classic standard of definition of power officially used until a few years ago by all leading engine manufacturers. This technical detail is even more widespread and advertised in the leading commercial channels, although it is a matter that it is higher than the actual power.

Effective power: 9.40 HP

* It corresponds to the real power expressed on the cutting organ in working phase. This is the power indicated as official in the manual or in the technical data of the motor manufacturer.

As far as the needed power is concerned, we now provide you with an handy chart to help you navigate among consumption, starting coefficients and watt.

The best criteria is to pinpoint first which are the instruments we need to power with the generator and, consequently perform a simple calculation, as explained below, to identify the needed power that the generator need to eject.

Power required = Electric appliance consumption X Breakaway starting coefficient

The starting coefficient is a fundamental characteristic of any instrument which works with electric current because it indicates how much the consumption of the object increases. Therefore, this is needed to concretely determine how many WATT are necessary during the start up operations.

Example: Compressor (1500 Watt ) X Starting coefficient (2) = 3000 Watt Hence you should orientate towards a generator which has a WATT power equal or superior to the result (*)

Check the consumption of the appliance on the instruction and maintenance manual or on the plate attached to the machine.

WARNING: the chart is purely indicative. Thanks to the formula above you can easily calculate the power a generator should deliver to connect and start some specific products and select the model of generator which best suits your needs. And remember that to operate the electronic equipment (computers, televisions and all the equipment equipped with an electronic card) must purchase a current with "inverter" generator (which stabilizes the output current).
