Generac 5,500 Watt Diesel Fueled 50-State Portable Generator

Description

Consolidating jobsite equipment around diesel fuel eliminates volatile gasoline storage hazards while securing continuous heavy-duty runtime. The Generac 5,500 Watt Diesel Fueled Generator supplies 5500 starting watts and 5000 running watts on 120V and 240V power across all 50 states. You run heavy tools with diesel economy. However, this open-frame unit cannot run indoors.

Generac builds this commercial diesel generator within a 1.25-inch high-strength structural steel roll cage equipped with heavy-duty engine vibration isolators. A commercial 435cc Yanmar air-cooled single-cylinder diesel engine powers an all-copper wound alternator with automatic voltage regulation. The machine provides 5000 continuous running watts. Ten-inch never-flat wheels and fold-down handles carry the 250-pound chassis across jobsite trenches, mud, and gravel without tire puncture hazards.

Dynamometer Bench Testing Load Telemetry

Bench testing confirms continuous electrical output of 5000W at 120V and 240V across four hours of continuous resistance loading on industrial test banks. Voltage regulation holds within 2% under sudden 2500W motor inrush currents without line collapse. The Yanmar diesel engine maintains 3600 RPM at 60 Hz without hunting or surging. Sound level meters measure 75 dBA at 23 feet distance. Fuel consumption averages 0.37 gallons per hour under 50% loaded electrical resistance. Engine cylinder head temperatures plateau at 270°F.

Field Operation Usability Maintenance Directives

Contractors set this generator on solid, level ground outdoors at least twenty feet away from building openings. Turn the key switch to start the Yanmar diesel engine on jobsites. Do not run this open-frame diesel generator inside occupied buildings, vehicle trailers, or unventilated enclosures.

• Check engine crankcase oil level prior to each generator work shift.
• Drain water from the primary diesel fuel-water separator every 50 operating hours.
• Clean the foam air filter element every 50 operating hours.
