Maxmech Electric Start Generator 11.9 KVA/9.5 KW

The Maxmech Electric Start Generator with a power output of 11.9 KVA / 9.5 KW is a top-tier petrol generator, offering very significant power for demanding residential, commercial, or industrial applications. This is one of the largest petrol generators commonly available for general use.

Here’s a comprehensive overview of what you can expect:

Model: Often referred to as Maxmech RFS-1500ET.

• Electric Start (Key Start): This is a standard and essential feature for a generator of this size, ensuring easy and convenient starting. It comes with a battery for the electric starter. A manual recoil start is usually included as a backup.
• Power Output:
  • AC Max Output: 11.9 KVA / 9.5 KW (or 9500 watts). This is the absolute peak power it can momentarily deliver.
  • AC Rated Output (Continuous Power): 11.3 KVA / 9.0 KW (or 9000 watts). This is the sustainable power output it can continuously provide. This capacity is substantial, capable of running almost all appliances in a large home, powering workshops, commercial freezers, multiple AC units, and various heavy-duty tools.
• Engine:
  • Type: 4-stroke, Air-cooled, Gasoline engine.
  • Displacement: Around 500cc.
  • Ignition: Transistor magneto.
• 100% Copper Coil: A consistent and highly desirable feature of Maxmech generators, ensuring superior conductivity, better heat dissipation, increased durability, and efficient power transmission.
• Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR): Critical for providing a stable and clean power supply, protecting all connected sensitive electronics and appliances from voltage fluctuations and surges.
• Dual Phase/Rated Voltage: Some listings specifically mention “Dual Phase Generator,” with a rated voltage of 230V/400V. This indicates it can provide both single-phase (230V for most household appliances) and three-phase (400V for some industrial motors or heavy machinery) power, making it highly versatile.
• Fuel Tank Capacity: Typically 25 Liters. This large capacity allows for extended running times, often several hours (e.g., 5-8 hours at significant load).
• Oil Capacity: Around 1.3 Liters.
• Frequency: 50Hz (standard for Kenya).
• DC Output: 12V / 8.3A (for charging batteries).
