A full working day on one tank

Consumption is 1.6 litres per hour at 75 % load. As a result, the 30-litre tank keeps the ESE 406 HS-GT running for 18 hours, with few refuelling breaks.

The engine is a HONDA OHV engine, for example the GX 270. The source data also mentions a Briggs & Stratton version.

It is a practical choice for construction sites, service work and standby power when you need portable electricity.

What the ESE 406 HS-GT can run

The manufacturer gives indicative maximum loads of 3800 W, 2600 W and 2000 W for different device groups.

Motor-driven equipment has a lower limit, because it briefly draws a multiple of its normal current at start-up.

The rated current is 18.3 A, and each socket is rated 16 A. Therefore, share the loads between the sockets so that the combined power stays within the continuous power.

Moving and comparison

The weight is 61 kg, and the dimensions are 800 x 538 x 576 mm. An optional wheel set makes moving easier.

For lighter needs, ESE 306 HS-GT (2.9 kVA) is enough. However, if you also need a 400 V outlet, choose ESE 606 DHS-GT.

Safety

The automatic low-oil shutdown and the generator overload protection protect the engine and the connected equipment. The IP23 enclosure 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.
