All About Hyundai Generators

Nowadays, everyone has a large number of household appliances. Appliances with different power levels often put a lot of stress on the power lines, so we feel frequent power surges that can cause the lights to turn off. For a backup supply of energy, many acquire generators of various types. Among the brands for the production of these products, the world famous Korean company Hyundai can be distinguished.

The history of the brand began in 1948, when its founder, Korean, Chon Joo-yeon, opened a car repair shop. Over the years, the company has changed its direction of activity. Today, the range of its production is very large, from cars to generators.

The company produces gasoline and diesel, inverter, welding and hybrid models. All of them differ in their power, the type of fuel to be filled and other characteristics. The production is based on the latest technologies, the generators are designed for long-term operation in various conditions. Economical fuel consumption and low noise level make its models very popular.

Diesel variants are designed for use in dirty and harsh conditions... They provide more power at low revs. Mini-power plants are very compact and easy to transport, they are used for some kind of repair work where there is no access to stationary electricity. Inverter models are designed to supply high quality current.

The range of the brand includes generators of various types.

• Diesel generator model Hyundai DHY 12000LE-3 made in an open case and equipped with an electronic start type. The power of this model is 11 kW. It produces voltages of 220 and 380 V. The frame of the model is made of high-strength steel 28 mm thick. Equipped with wheels and anti-vibration pads. The engine capacity is 22 liters per second, and the volume is 954 cm³, with an air-cooled system. The fuel tank has a volume of 25 liters. A full tank is enough for continuous operation for 10.3 hours. The noise level of the device is 82 dB. An emergency switch and digital display are provided. The model is equipped with a proprietary alternator, the material of the motor winding is copper. The device weighs 158 kg, has parameters 910x578x668 mm. Fuel type - diesel. Includes battery and two ignition keys. The manufacturer gives a 2-year warranty.

• Petrol model of the Hyundai electric generator HHY 10050FE-3ATS equipped with a power of 8 kW. The model has three launch options: auto start, manual and electric start. Open housing generator. The engine is equipped with a reinforced service life, made in Korea for long-term loads. Has a volume of 460 cm³, with an air cooling system. The noise level is 72 dB. The tank is made of welded steel. The fuel consumption is 285 g / kW. A full tank is enough for continuous operation for 10 hours. Thanks to the double system, the injection of oil into the engine reduces the heating time of the gas engine, the fuel consumption is very economical, and the combustion products do not exceed the norm. The alternator has a copper winding, therefore it is resistant to voltage surges and load changes.

• Hyundai HHY 3030FE LPG dual-fuel generator model equipped with a power of 3 kW with a voltage of 220 volts, can operate on 2 types of fuel - gasoline and gas. The engine of this model is an innovative technology of Korean engineers, which is able to withstand repeated on / off, ensures high-quality operation for a long time. The volume of the fuel tank is 15 liters, which ensures uninterrupted operation for about 15 hours, with an air cooling system. The control panel has two 16A sockets, an emergency switch, 12W outputs and a digital display. You can turn on the device for operation in two ways of starting: manual and autorun. The body of the model is made of an open type of high-strength steel with a thickness of 28 mm, which is treated with a powder coating. The model does not have wheels, it is equipped with anti-vibration cushions. The device is equipped with a copper-wound synchronous alternator that produces an accurate voltage with a deviation of no more than 1%.

• Inverter model of the Hyundai HY300Si generator generates a power of 3 kW and a voltage of 220 volts. The device is made in a soundproof housing. The engine running on gasoline is a new development of the company's specialists, which is able to increase the working life by 30%. The volume of the fuel tank is 8.5 liters with an economical fuel consumption of 300 g / kWh, which ensures autonomous operation for 5 hours. This model produces a perfectly accurate current, which will allow its owner to connect especially sensitive equipment. The device uses a system of the most economical fuel consumption.

Its operation is very quiet thanks to the noise-canceling casing and is only 68 dB. A manual start device is provided on the generator body. The control panel has two sockets, a display showing the output voltage status, an overload indicator and an engine oil status indicator. The model is very compact, weighs only 37 kg, wheels are provided for transportation. The manufacturer gives a 2-year warranty.

Each device has its own working resource. For example, gasoline generators in which the engines are side-mounted and have an aluminum block of cylinders have a service life of about 500 hours. They are mainly installed in models with low power. Generators with an engine located at the top with cast iron sleeves have a resource of about 3000 hours. But all this is conditional, since each device requires proper operation and maintenance. Any generator model, be it gasoline or diesel, must undergo maintenance.

The first inspection is done after running in the device.... That is, the first start-up of the device in operation is indicative, since malfunctions from the plant may come to light. The next inspection is done after 50 hours of operation, the rest of the subsequent technical inspections are carried out after 100 hours of operation..

Checking the oil includes the need to inspect the surface underneath the generator for stains or drips, and if there is enough fluid in the generator.

How does the generator start? This is very important, you need to turn it on and let it idle a little so that the engine warms up well, only after that you can connect the generator to the load. Monitor the amount of fuel in the generator tank... It should not turn off due to lack of gasoline.

Generators can have a wide variety of faults. The first signs may be unpleasant sounds, hum, or, in general, it may not start or stall after work. Signs of a breakdown will be a non-working lamp or a blinking one, when the generator is operating, a voltage of 220 V is not output, it is much less. This can be mechanical damage, damage to the mount or housing, problems in bearings, springs or breakdowns associated with electricity - short circuit, breakdowns, and so on, there may be poor contact of the safety elements.

After identifying the cause of the malfunction, you should not repair it yourself.... To do this, it is best to contact special services, where specialists at a high level will carry out high-quality repairs and inspections in order to avoid more serious breakdowns.
