Maxmech Electric Start Petrol Generator 11.9 KVA 9.5 KW (380V)

• Commercial/Industrial Standard: Three-phase power (often 380V or 400V in Kenya/Europe) is typically found in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, large farms, or homes with very high power demands that include heavy machinery, large motors, or specific industrial equipment (e.g., certain types of water pumps, large air conditioning units, welding equipment, or workshop machinery).
• Efficiency: Three-phase power provides more stable and efficient power delivery for heavy loads, especially those with induction motors.
• Compatibility: While this generator can certainly power single-phase appliances (often through dedicated 220V outlets on the unit), its primary design with 380V output indicates it’s meant for three-phase loads. If your facility or home only has single-phase wiring, you’ll need to ensure the generator can safely deliver 220V/240V power and that it’s connected correctly by a qualified electrician to avoid damage to your appliances or the generator.

Key Features and Specifications (Typical Maxmech 11.9 KVA / 9.5 KW 380V Electric Start Petrol Generators):

• Power Output:
  • Rated Power: 9.5 KW (9500 Watts) – This is the continuous power it can deliver, capable of running substantial loads.
  • Maximum/Peak Power: 11.9 KVA – The surge capacity for starting heavy loads, particularly three-phase motors.
• Voltage: 220V/380V or 230V/400V, 50Hz. This confirms its dual-voltage or true three-phase capability. For practical purposes in Kenya, 380V and 400V are often used interchangeably for three-phase.
• Engine: A powerful, large-displacement, 4-stroke, air-cooled petrol engine. Given the power output, it would likely be 18HP to 22HP.
• Starting System: Electric Start (Key Start) with a built-in battery. A recoil start is almost always included as a backup.
• Fuel Type: Unleaded petrol.
• Fuel Tank Capacity: Large capacity, typically 25-30 liters, to support extended run times (8-10+ hours at 50-70% load). Fuel consumption will be significant, likely 4.0 to 5.5+ liters per hour under substantial load.
• Alternator: 100% Copper Coil for superior conductivity, durability, and heat management,
