It features 230V and 110V AC outputs, along with stable 12V DC battery charging up to 40Ah. An Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) ensures stable, non-fluctuating power for sensitive equipment. For safety, it includes a low oil pressure alert system that protects the engine by shutting down the system automatically if needed. The generator has a heavy-duty framed design for increased durability, making it suitable for rugged environments. It is powered by a 390cc 4-stroke air-cooled EURO V OHV petrol engine, providing a peak output of 5500W and a continuous rated output of 5000W. The approx. runtime is 8 hours+. It has 1x 230V (32A) and 1x 110V (32A) AC output sockets, plus 1x 12V DC battery charging (up to 40Ah). The generator is also wheel-mounted with integrated handles for mobility and features an electric start with a battery included. SIP offers a 2-Year Standard Silver Warranty.
The SIP MEDUSA T5500W Petrol Generator is ideal for powering tools and devices on-site or in remote locations. It provides reliable power with both 230V and 110V AC outputs, and 12V DC charging. Note that while it offers robust performance, regular maintenance is essential to ensure its longevity. This guide provides a detailed overview of the generator's features, usage, and maintenance.
