Using Sensitive Equipment with the Electrical Power from the Stephill RT5000HMC

The power produced by the Stephill RT5000HMC enables a smooth voltage output via the brushless waveform alternator. This keeps the 110/55v CTE outputs to low distortion sine waves, conforming to Network Rail approved specification.

Low Noise Levels

You might think having a portable petrol generator will be very noisy. Well think again; the RT5000HMC is surprisingly quiet at 72 dBA @ 7 metres.

What Happens If I Do Not Use My Generator for Long Periods?

As with all petrol engines, if you are planning to store your generator for a long period its ‘best practice’ to either drain the fuel tank then run the generator until it stops. This will prevent any unused fuel congealing and clogging the carburettor. Or to stop the fuel from going off use a petrol additive. Remember, stale fuel can stop your generator from starting when you need it.
