Hyundai HX6500 Petrol Generator 5.5 kW Price in Pakistan

The Hyundai HX6500 Petrol Generator 5.5 kW is a Hyundai generator rated 5.5 kW (about 6.9 kVA). A generator's kVA rating times 0.8 gives the usable kW, and it is best to run loads up to about 80% of that, so the engine does not overheat.

What it can run: one 1 to 1.5 ton AC (inverter AC is easier to start); a fridge and a water pump; fans, lights and a TV for the whole house; an iron or a microwave (not all at once). Start the biggest motor load (AC, pump or fridge) first, then switch on the rest.

Petrol generators are the most common home backup in Pakistan: easy to start, easy to service and widely repaired.

Check the fuel tank size and running time on the box: they depend on the load.

Safety: always run a generator outdoors in open air, never inside a room, garage or shop, because the exhaust contains carbon monoxide. Use a changeover switch so power cannot flow back into WAPDA lines.

Prefer a quiet backup without fuel? Compare a lithium battery with a solar inverter (All Solar Systems) or a portable power station (Power Stations).
