Long run time, low consumption
With the 20-litre tank, the ESE 306 HS-GT runs 18 hours at 75 % load, with consumption of 1.1 litres per hour.
The engine is a single-cylinder four-stroke OHV engine. The source data lists HONDA and Briggs & Stratton engines.
In addition, the recoil starter is simple and reliable, even in cold weather.
What the ESE 306 HS-GT can run
The manufacturer gives indicative maximum loads of 2500 W, 1700 W and 1300 W for different device groups.
The difference comes from starting currents: a motor-driven device briefly draws a multiple of its normal current at start-up. Therefore, compressors and pumps have the lowest limit.
For example, the two 230 V/16 A sockets can run a tool and a light at the same time, as long as the combined power stays within limits.
Moving and other models in the series
The generator weighs 43 kg, and the dimensions are 637 x 473 x 500 mm. An optional wheel set makes moving easier.
The smaller ESE 206 HS-GT produces 2.5 kVA with one socket. However, if you need more power, ESE 406 HS-GT delivers 4.2 kVA.
Safety
The automatic low-oil shutdown and the AC overload protection protect the engine and the user. The IP23 rating protects against splashes; however, do not leave the machine in the rain.
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, which can kill. Therefore, run the generator outdoors only, where air moves freely. Keep it away from doorways and air intakes.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for earthing and connections. In addition, refuel only when the engine is off and has cooled down.
Only a qualified electrician may connect the generator to a building’s electrical network. This way, the generator does not feed voltage into the distribution grid. You can read about the requirements for electrical work on the Tukes website.
