Maxmech Electric Start Generator 6.9 KVA/5.5 KW

A Maxmech Electric Start Generator with a power output of 6.9 KVA / 5.5 KW is a substantial piece of equipment, well-suited for powering a significant portion of a large home, a small to medium-sized business, or even a construction site. The electric start feature adds immense convenience for a generator of this size.

Here’s what you can generally expect:

Key Features:

• Electric Start (Key Start): This is a defining feature for this size, making it much easier to start than relying solely on a pull cord. It usually comes with a battery for the electric starter, and typically has a manual recoil start as a backup.
• Power Output:
  • Maximum Output: 6.9 KVA
  • Rated Output (Continuous Power): 5.5 KW (or 5500 watts). This capacity is sufficient to run heavy-duty appliances like air conditioners (smaller units), multiple refrigerators, deep freezers, water pumps, power tools, and a large array of lights and electronics simultaneously.
• Engine: These generators are equipped with powerful, industrial-grade 4-stroke, air-cooled gasoline engines designed for sustained operation and reliability.
• 100% Copper Coil: Maxmech generators are highly regarded in Kenya for using 100% copper windings in their alternators. This is a critical factor for durability, efficient power transmission, and better heat dissipation, leading to a longer lifespan compared to aluminum windings.
• Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR): An essential component that maintains a stable output voltage, protecting your sensitive and valuable electronics from damaging power fluctuations.
• Large Fuel Tank Capacity: To support the higher power output and longer run times, these models typically have larger fuel tanks, often in the range of 20-25 liters, allowing for extended operation without frequent refueling.
• Safety Features: Standard safety features include low oil shutdown (to prevent engine damage), circuit breakers for overload protection, and sometimes a fuel gauge.
• Robust Build & Portability: Given their size and weight, they feature heavy-duty frames, sturdy wheels, and handles to facilitate movement, though they are still substantial machines.
