Compare inverter generators

Standard equipment, options and order-specific specifications

What is included as standard?

The base configuration is single-phase with recoil starting and basic panel sockets. Inverter generators also include an ECO switch and indicator lights.

Which features are optional?

Electric starting and remote starting are available across the model range. Electric-start versions retain recoil starting. USB outlets, VFT meters (voltage, frequency and running time), ATS, one-touch starting and pull handles are optional; specify the required equipment and combination in your enquiry.

For some volume orders, selected options such as USB or a VFT meter may be included at no extra charge. Inclusion and pricing are confirmed in the quotation.

How are voltage, frequency and phase selected?

220 V or 230 V and 50 Hz or 60 Hz can be specified for the customer. These are order configuration choices, not a statement that every machine switches between them. Where listed, 230/400 V identifies the equal-power three-phase alternator option: single-phase and three-phase operation have the same rated output in that configuration. Confirm the selected output, sockets and phase arrangement in the order specification.

Which documents apply to the final machine?

Our public download is the product catalogue. Final specifications, manuals and even the customer model name depend on the agreed configuration. Use the catalogue model as a starting point, then confirm the order-specific parameters and documentation with us.

Enclosed machine and carton dimensions

All dimensions below are L × W × H in millimetres. Carton dimensions are the machine dimensions plus 15 mm in each direction. Confirm the packing for the final ordered configuration.

A practical starting point

Which 4 kW inverter model should you compare?

Both catalogue entries list 4 kW rated output. The VM4500IO lists 5 kW maximum output, while the VM6000i-VA/VB lists 4.5 kW maximum output. Compare the rated figures first; a higher maximum figure is not a higher continuous-output rating.

Both have recoil starting as standard, with electric and remote starting optional. The two fuel-tank sizes do not establish a runtime comparison. Request comparable noise, runtime and output-quality test data before choosing on those criteria.

* N.W. / G.W. means net weight / gross weight. Enclosed weights apply to the recoil-start version and are the same for VA and VB. VA/VB differ only in housing; their other technical specifications are the same. Optional equipment can change the final weight. Open-frame weights are not yet listed. Carton dimensions add 15 mm to each machine dimension.

Rated output, maximum output and model names

VM6000i-VA/VB is rated at 4 kW; VM14000I-OPEN is rated at 12 kW. The digits in a model name are not its rated power. Keep both rated and maximum output in your enquiry and request the operating conditions and permitted maximum-output duration.

Share the equipment you intend to power, including running and starting requirements. Rated power alone does not establish suitability for every load.
