Pramac ES 8000 - 6.4 kW Power Generator - DC 5.4 kW Single-phase

The Pramac ES 8000 single-phase generator is particularly suitable for heavy-duty work. Very compact and simple to use with easy and intuitive controls. It has the highest quality components, thus guaranteeing reliability and performance. It is powered by gasoline.

The engine is branded Honda,the model GX 390,series designed for use in the fields of construction, agriculture, generators, welding machines and others of this kind. It represents a secure reliability and large engine performance and is the top of the range between the gasoline engines used for these products.

Then we find the S20W alternator by the brand Mecc Alte, with copper winding, produced in Italy. This company is among the best in the field of alternators, thus always providing elements of the highest quality.

It has an 11 L tank guaranteeing an autonomy (at 75% load) of almost 3 hours.

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.

CAUTION: All power generators like this, belonging to one of the lowest levels of the PROFESSIONAL level products (refer to the product level rating scale used on this site) should not work for longer sessions of 3-4 hours continuously, in order to not to compromise in the medium-long term durability of the alternator and other components due to overheating or to wear. The same problem would present itself if these products were to be used daily or at least frequently. In all these cases we recommend to opt for generators classified as least as PROFESSIONAL, as listed on the rating scale on this website.

Maximum single- phase power disbursement: 6.4KW

Nominal power in continuous running (COP) Single-phase: 5.4KW

This is the data that should be taken into consideration as an effective and constant data for the generator output (it guarantees the product an infinite duration)

Voltage: 230V

Operating frequency: 50 Hz

Nominal amperage: 26.4

Fuel tank capacity: 11 L

Size: 730 x 500 x 560 cm

Weight: 74.5 kg

The Honda GX390 engine is part of the GX series, designed for products used in fields such as agriculture or construction. Among the innovative features of this engine we find a facilitated start, a low level of consumption and a low level of vibrations.

The S20W alternator is "Made in Italy", produced by Mecc Alte, a company that represents one of the best Italian productions for the alternator category. It represents absolute reliability and quality.

The alternator is completely wrapped in copper.

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).

• The generator can be exclusively used to power single electrical appliances (with respect to the produced KW power in relation to the absorption during the starting phase that must be lower than the power supplied by the generator).

• The generator can be used to power household device in emergency conditions (no current service provided by the domestic household), exclusively on the models that are specifically provided with ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) device (specifically designed for this purpose and provided with connecting systems to your household electrical power).

• The generator was NOT designed for PROFESSIONAL use, it is therefore apt for occasional use (not frequent). The working sessions must no be over 3-4 continuous hours (which would cause the alternator to overheat and wear, especially in its internal components rotor and stator) If you need a generator for frequent use (for example once a week), the user should look towards another type of generator, specifically intended for a frequent use and precisely a PROFESSIONAL or even INDUSTRIAL quality-level generator (that is not provided with a standard 3000 rpm alternator as this models is, but one which is designed with a professional alternator with low speed; 1500 rpm - with liquid-cooled engine and alternator - which have a level of specific characteristic and price point very different from this model’s);

The generator is not designed to be installed in photovoltaic or solar energy systems for energy production nor for the recharging or maintenance of batteries of these specific or other electric systems. Indeed, it may damage seriously the generator on its internal components (alternator, engine and electrical component). Each photovoltaic system requires a generator for INDUSTRIAL use (not for domestic use as this present model), specifically designed and manufactured for this purpose. WE DO NOT PROVIDE WARRANTY on generators connected to photovoltaic systems, as this entails an IMPROPER USE OF THE UNIT.
