Rato R5500 AVR - 5.5 kW Petrol Power Generator with AVR - DC 5 kW Single-phase

The Rato R5500 generator with single-phase petrol engine is the perfect portable power source to carry power wherever you need.

The 25 L fuel tank ensures a remarkable working autonomy.

This generator is perfect to be used in various situations, such as private parties, public events and everytime you need a reliable and safe power source.

Equipped with alternator with a copper case and a 12 HP engine.

This generator features an AVR card that automatically regulates the output voltage and keeps it constant even in case of sudden changes in load.

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.

WARNING: all generators classified as LOWER than PROFESSIONAL (considering the product level scale used by our website) are not intended for more than 3-4 hours continuous work in order not to reduce the alternator durability, as well as that of one of the other machine components due to the unit overheating or wear. For a daily or frequent use, we highly recommend considering generators rated at least as PROFESSIONAL on the product level scale provided by our website.

Single-phase 4-stroke petrol engine 12 HP with overhead valves.

It is mounted on 4 anti-vibration rubber feet.

The alternator features a copper casing

Maximum rated power* in emergency service: 5.5 W

* this is the maximum power that the generator can supply in case of emergency

Rated power output in continuous running*: 5 kW

* this is the actual data to be considered as effective, according to the ability of the machine of generating electric power (since it allows the generator to run for a long period of time).

The AVR card automatically regulates the output voltage and keeps it constant even in case of sudden changes in load.

The control panel is extremely intuitive and easy to use

• the VOLTMETER shows the output power into the power outlet
• n.2 Schuko power outlets
• ground fault relay

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.

• 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.
