GeoTech SQL3000i EVO - 2.9 kW Inverter Power Generator - DC 2.7 kW Single-phase

The GeoTech SQL3000I EVO inverter generator is designed to supply power to all sophisticated equipment that requires a constant power supply without voltage fluctuations.

It generates a quality, clean and stable current, ideal for powering sensitive electronic equipment such as computers, televisions, and many others.

In addition, this type of generator is quieter and more efficient than conventional generators.

It has a motor with a power rating of 4.8 HP.

It is capable of generating a maximum rated output power of 2.9 kW.

The generator controls are very simple and intuitive, including the energy-saving activation button, the battery charger socket, the power switch, and various indicator lights.

The inverter technology:

This generator produces electrical energy with a constant frequency and voltage, regardless of the variation of the load and the engine speed; this is made possible by the use of an electronic converter that disengages the amplitude of the input voltage from the output.

Unlike traditional generators, a permanent magnet generator is used together with a speed monitoring system of the engine rpm according to the actually used power, which allows a significant reduction of fuel consumption and less noise with the use of average loads downs.

Main applications:

The reliability and the quality of the energy produced with this system allows the power supply of electronic equipment such as computers, medical equipment, measuring instruments, and any particularly device sensitive to variations in voltage and frequency.

The generator is not designed for energy production, charging or maintaining batteries for the photovoltaic or solar panels systems (or similar); this can seriously damage the generator.

WARNING: all these models of generators that do not belong to the PROFESSIONAL series (considering the product level evaluation used by our website) are not intended for more than 3-4 hours continuous work in order not to reduce the alternator durability as well as that of one of the other machine components due to the unit overheating or wear. As regards a home or intensive use of these generators, it is important to follow the indications mentioned above. In all these conditions, we highly recommend focusing the attention on the purchase of generators renowned as PROFESSIONAL by the product level classification made in our website.

Silenced Generator:

The silencer allows you to use the current generator for camping, camper, in public places, homes, condos, villas, townhouses, hobby or wherever it is required silent electricity.

ECON.SW switch:

when they are not connected to the generator equipment, or when the power is off and there is no consumption of energy produced by the generator, it works in gasoline saving mode. This device is used to minimize fuel consumption and reduce noise levels when there isn’t any load applied to the generator. When recovering the energy consumption by connecting or switching on the equipment, the generator automatically switches to the correct speed so as to deliver sufficient current. * This function should only be used with the power supply 220 volts (not with the battery charger)

Indicating lights:

- Electricity supply. It subsequently illuminates when power switch is on. Under normal conditions this green light should be the only one turned on.

- Overload warning. If the generator is overloaded or if there is a malfunction or a short circuit in a device connected, this red overload indicator lights up. After several seconds the power supply will be interrupted and the green light will turn off. In this case, stop the engine and find out the cause of the overload

- Oil warning system. Designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil. Before the oil level can drop below the safety limit, the red oil warning light turns on and the oil alarm system will stop automatically the engine. * Warning: the engine is provided without oil.

Sockets:

- 2 Schuko CE power outlet with delivery at 220 volts

- 1 charger socket: the charger is equipped with overload circuit, which possibly activates the charger protection device. If that were to happen, you should press the reset button (on the side).

As far as the needed power is concerned, we now provide you with an handy chart to help you navigate among consumption, starting coefficients and watt.

The best criteria is to pinpoint first which are the instruments we need to power with the generator and, consequently perform a simple calculation, as explained below, to identify the needed power that the generator need to eject.

Power required = Electric appliance consumption X Breakaway starting coefficient

The starting coefficient is a fundamental characteristic of any instrument which works with electric current because it indicates how much the consumption of the object increases. Therefore, this is needed to concretely determine how many WATT are necessary during the start up operations.

Example: Compressor (1500 Watt ) X Starting coefficient (2) = 3000 Watt Hence you should orientate towards a generator which has a WATT power equal or superior to the result (*)

Check the consumption of the appliance on the instruction and maintenance manual or on the plate attached to the machine.

WARNING: the chart is purely indicative. Thanks to the formula above you can easily calculate the power a generator should deliver to connect and start some specific products and select the model of generator which best suits your needs. And remember that to operate the electronic equipment (computers, televisions and all the equipment equipped with an electronic card) must purchase a current with "inverter" generator (which stabilizes the output current).

• 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.
