GeoTech iGGP5000 - 4 kW inverter wheeled power generator - DC 3.5 kw Single phase

Inverter technology:

The inverter generator we are focusing on is able to produce electric power at a constant and convenient voltage and frequency thanks to a power converter used to adapt any input voltage to a different output voltage without being related to sudden changes in load and to the engine speed.

Compared to all the standard generators, this model features a number of specific characteristics as the use of a permanent magnet generator and an engine revolutions control device based on its effective power. These main features allow considerably reducing fuel consumptions, running costs and avoiding noise emissions in case of low or medium loads.

Main applications:

The high quality and reliability of the electric power generated through the use of the system mentioned above make it a very flexible generator, suitable for many applications. Indeed, it is easy understandable how this generator is usually used for electronic equipment like TVs, for powering computers, battery charging and for each kind of electronic device particularly sensitive to voltage and frequency changes.

WARNING: the engine does not provide oil (please, ensure to fill the tank with oil specific for 4-stroke engines before starting it).

A 4-stroke petrol engine shows a higher number of positive aspects compared to the standard 2-stroke motors. It is possible to describe them as follows:

• Higher reliability;
• Longer durability over time;
• Far easier to use engine (especially when it has been sitting unused for a long time);
• Lower problems related to the fuel preparation and to preserve its quality keeping it fresher longer;
• Considerably reduced fuel consumptions;
• Low maintenance requirements.

Sound intensity: 74 db(A)/7m

Whenever there are no electric appliances connected to the generator or they are turned off, the generator does not provide energy and power consumptions because it works in fuel saver mode. This device is specifically used in order to considerably reduce fuel consumptions and to ensure low noise running when there is no load connected to the generator. On the opposite side, whether it is restored the energy consumptions by connecting or turning on the electrical supplies, our generator automatically establishes its proper running speed in order to ensure constant average output voltage and to generate the proper amount of electricity. * This solution can just be used by generating 220 v power outputs (it cannot work with battery chargers).

Warning lamps

- Current flow: its starting comes immediately after the power switch has been turned on (it normally provides the green light on).

- Overload signal: a common problem is that a generator can be overloaded, there can be power quality problems resulting in malfunction and equipment failure or in case of short-circuits of one of the appliance powered by the generator: on this occasion, the machine consists of a red light that comes on as a overload sensor. The generator stops powering the operating loads letting the green light turning off in a very short time. To solve the problem, it is necessary shutting the engine off trying to find out the reason why the generator is not able to produce enough power due to its overload conditions.

- Engine oil warning system: it has been specifically designed to avoid damaging the engine when the oil level drops too low. Whenever the engine is not running properly, the red oil warning light comes on before the oil drops below the safety level. On this occasion, the oil warning system immediately stops the engine. * Warning: the engine does not provide oil.

Power plugs:

- 2 Schuko power outlets CE with 230 volts power supply.

- 1 power outlet for battery charger: each battery charger is used to force electric current into a secondary cell. It consists of a overload circuit, which eventually activates the safety device (to protect the battery from overload).

- 1 Circuit breaker

As regards the power needed referring to the use you will make of your generator, here below an extremely useful table to guide you among consumptions, starting coefficient and watt. Firstly, the highest-quality method is to identify which are the electric appliances we need to power with the generator and then perform a simple calculation to identify the necessary power that the generator must supply, as explained below.

Power required = Electric appliance consumption X Breakaway starting coefficient

The starting coefficient represents a fundamental feature for all the electric equipment as it indicates how much the consumption of the electric appliance increases. Therefore, it allows to concretely determine how many WATTs are necessary during the start-up operations.

Example: Air compressor ( 1500 Watt ) X Starting coefficient ( 2 ) = 3000 Watt

Hence, it is important to address your choice on a generator featuring equal or higher WATT-rated electric power than the result obtained from the calculation made.

( * ) Check the consumption of the electric appliance on the operator’s use and maintenance manual or on the plate attached to the machine.

WARNING! Purely indicative table. Thanks to the formula indicated above you can easily calculate the electric power that the generator has to supply in order and connect to the generator specific electric appliances and select the model of generator which best suits your needs. We remind you that to operate electric equipment (computers, TVs and all the other electric appliances provided with electronic card) you need to focus the attention on inverter generators (which allows stabilizing the electric current supplied).

• This inverter generator is equipped with an electronic card in order to stabilize the output current, generating an almost perfect wave.
  This makes it particularly suitable for application in certain uses, but also not suitable for other.
  Some examples of FIELD OF APPLICATION : Feeding of all kinds of electronic equipment (being equipped with electronic card which consequently require a very stable power to avoid the risk of damaging such cards), appliances, equipment and kitchen and domestic equipment, lights and lamps; In conclusion they are specific to a strictly domestic use or for vacation and leisure use (in a camper, boat, etc ...)

  Some examples of NON APPLICATION FIELDS : Construction equipment, workshop equipment, do-it-yourself, welding machines, equipment of any kind equipped with brush motors (which in the event of wear on the brushes can move back towards the generator some power surges that can damage the the generator electronic card); basically, for all this list of working, construction or artisan equipment, an inverter generator is too delicate and therefore inadequate, therefore it is necessary to focus on a classic generator, not with inverter card, but equipped with the classic alternator with stator and heavy rotor, most suitable for powering this equipment.

  We remind you that the inverter generator was designed for NOT PROFESSIONAL use, it is therefore apt for occasional use (not frequent). The working sessions must no be over 3-4 continuous hours (which would cause the alternator to overheat and wear) If you need a generator for frequent use (for example once a week), the user should look towards another type of generator, specifically intended for a frequent use and precisely a PROFESSIONAL or even INDUSTRIAL quality-level generator;

  The generator is not designed to be installed in photovoltaic or solar energy systems for energy production nor for the recharging or maintenance of batteries of these specific or other electric systems. Indeed, it may damage seriously the generator on its internal components (alternator, engine and electrical component). Each photovoltaic system requires a generator for INDUSTRIAL use (not for domestic use as this present model), specifically designed and manufactured for this purpose. WE DO NOT PROVIDE WARRANTY on generators connected to photovoltaic systems, as this entails an IMPROPER USE OF THE UNIT.
