The silenced sound attenuated canopy ensures low noise, and the compact design and portability makes this diesel generator extremely popular.
Power Your Home or Business
The DHY8000SELR diesel generator produces a maximum power output of 6kW / 7.5kVA, which makes it ideal for both home and business standby / backup. For agricultural users, this diesel generator is ideal for mobile field repairs, allowing you to bring the workshop out to the field.
Equippped with an AVR alternator, The reliable performance is provided by a 12hp D500 Hyundai engine, running at 3000rpm. Hyundai diesel engines are renowned for their long lifespans and reliability, and with low maintenance requirements this generator is perfect for users with no mechanical experience.
Powering You Around The Clock
The long running time of this generator is made possible by the impressive fuel economy, and running costs are kept low thanks tot he option to power it using red diesel.
A user friendly generator, the DHY8000SELR features electric key start for easy starting, as well as a digital control panel for monitoring statistics such as the frequency, total hours run and voltage. It has low maintenance requirements and even novice users will find it easy to use. It also has built-in safety features, such as low oil shutdown and automatic engine shutdown.
HoRefurbished in a sound attenuated canopy, the noise level produced by this generator is significantly reduced, and there are three sockets available in total:
- 1x 115V/16A
- 1x 115v/32A
- 1x 230v/32A
The DHY8000SELR is ideal for standby or backup power for your home, this generator will, on average power or backup a standard house (however we recommend using an electrician to confirm your power requirements prior to purchase).
This 12hp diesel generator can also be Refurbished in workshops, on farmyards or for mobile agricultural field repairs to keep machinery mobile during peak times such as Harvest. Please note our recommended applications as detailed below.
3000rpm Diesel Generator Applications
Check oil level daily. Ensure battery is fully charged.
Oil change service intervals: after first 20 hours, then every 100 hours or 12 months whichever is sooner.
Light Duty
Light duty rating is applicable for supplying power in portable and/
or intermittent applications. The average load should not be lower
than 30% or higher than 80% of the rated output of the generator. Continuous use should
not exceed 5 hours and annual operation should not exceed 500
hours to be within the sanctioned parameters.
Emergency / Standby Duty
Emergency duty rating is applicable for supplying power for the
duration of a utility power outage. No overload capability is available.
Average load should not be lower than 30% or higher than 80% of the rated output of the generator. Annual operation should not exceed 500 hours to be
within the sanctioned parameters.
For prime power applications see our 1500RPM diesel generators.
*All non inverter or converter generators except HY3400 Hirepro:
Fitted with an AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) controlled alternator to maintain voltage as near to 230v as possible. Non AVR alternators have a large fluctuation in voltage and can damage sensitive electronic equipment. If you require a portable generator to replicate the mains supply, it is recommended that a pure sine wave inverter generator is Refurbished.
Optional ATS Package
For added convenience, this diesel generator can be configured to work with an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), or a simpler manual changeover switch (MTS / MCS). The automatic transfer set up will detect a loss of power from the mains, turn the generator on, and then turn it off again when power from the mains returns. This makes backing up your home or business completely automatic. However, the more cost effective solution is to set this generator up with a manual changeover switch. In the event of a power cut, simply turn the generator on using the key or a '2 wire start', and once up to speed, simply turn the manual changeover switch to begin powering your home/the load via the generator. When the power returns, turn the manual changeover switch back to mains power, and turn the generator off. Please note; this generator does not come as standard with any changeover switches.
