Pramac PX 5000 - 3.8 kW Wheeled Power Generator with AVR and Electric Start - DC 3.5 kW Single-phase

The Pramac PX5000 single-phase petrol powered generator represents the perfect power source which is able to generate electric power wherever it is needed and there are no power outlets nearby.

The folding handle and the large-sized wheels allow moving the unit with ease even on rough terrain.

It is also equipped with a high capacity fuel tank, which is able to contain 25 L fuel quantity.

The model we are focusing on is also extremely easy to start thanks to the integrated battery which is responsible for the engine electric start.

This generator consists of an alternator with a copper case and a 13 hp engine.

Detail of the generator AVR card: it allows an automatic output voltage regulation maintaining it constant even in case of sudden changes in load.

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.

Max single-phase power output: 3,8 KW

Rated power output in continuous running (COP): 3,5 KW

This last feature represents the technical data to take into account as effective according to the generator capacity of generating electric power (since it allows the generator running for a long period of time).

Voltage: 230 V

Operating frequency: 50 Hz

Petrol tank capacity: 25 L

Running time (at 75% load): 15.6 hours

Weight: 79 kg

Sound intensity: 97 dB[A]/7m

Engine type: 4-stroke single-cylinder and air cooled petrol engine

Cubic capacity: 389 cc

Rated power: 13 hp

Petrol tank capacity: 25 L

Start mode: recoil start

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: 72 dB[A]/7m

Practical Instructions:

The generator instructions (which are always available to the user thanks to the removable panel) even allow an easy use of the unit by all those operators with no or less experience.

Digital panel:

It is possible to visualize and control the generator voltage (volts), the operating frequency (Hz) and its running time (H) by pushing the specific button on the multi tool digital panel.

Power plugs:

- 2 Schuko power outlets CE with 220 volts power supply.

- 1 Industrial power outlet 230 V 16 A EC

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.

• The generator can only be used to power individual electrical equipment (respecting the rated power in KW produced by the generator in relation to the absorption of the appliances during the starting phase that must be lower than the power supplied by the generator).

• The generator can be used to power household device in emergency conditions (no current service provided by the domestic household), exclusively on the models that are specifically provided with ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) device (specifically designed for this purpose and provided with connecting systems to your household electrical power).
• The generator is NOT intended for PROFESSIONAL use. It means that it is exclusively designed for occasional use (infrequent use of the unit). The working hours must not exceed 3-4 of continuous running (which may lead to the alternator overheating or wear, especially to its internal components: alternator stator and rotor). Whether you’re looking for a generator for intensive use (once a week, for instance), the operator should address the choice to a different type generator specifically designed for a more intensive use. Indeed, you should focus the attention on PROFESSIONAL or even INDUSTRIAL quality-level generator (that is not provided with standard 3000 rev/min alternator as this specific model, but it is designed with professional alternator with low speed: 1500 rev/min – with liquid-cooled engine and alternator – in this case you’ll see that the unit specifications and price are much different from this model).

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.
