Generator Werk WPG-6500

Automatic voltage regulator (AVR). Output 12 V.

Gasoline generator for servicing loads up to 5 kW. Equipped with an engine with a working volume of 389 cm3, having a power of 13 hp. The motor is started manually using a cable. Electricity is generated by a synchronous alternator (with copper winding) with an automatic voltage regulator (AVR). During an hour of operation, the Werk WPG-6500 generator consumes 2.5 liters of gasoline (thus, the fuel supply in a 25-liter gas tank is enough for 10 hours of continuous supply of connected consumers with electricity). The device has two sockets 230 V (16 A) and DC terminals 12 V, intended for connecting low-voltage devices or recharging car batteries.

good model, I liked it

29 July 2017

This rather powerful generator model was purchased for charging powerful traction batteries in the field. In general, for such tasks there is a good choice of a wide variety of gasoline and diesel generators. But diesels have disappeared due to their unmeasured mass, which exceeds far over 100 kg. It was supposed to carry the generator on a pickup truck, which, in addition to the generator, was decently loaded with equipment and people. So taking another extra 60-70 kg of metal with you meant overloading the machine, and in real field conditions this could end badly. We can say that this inexpensive generator was taken for testing and it justified the trust. It has been working for six months and, apart from the oil sensor failure, there were no other problems.

A good generator with manual start and a decent electric power up to 5 kW (long-term) or 5.5 kW (short-term). The gasoline engine - a 4-stroke with a cylinder of almost 0.4 liters, has a maximum power of 13 horses and turns a good synchronous generator. Engine operation is smooth and quiet. Do not forget that, like any internal combustion engine, it requires a break-in, that is, 20-30 hours of quiet operation at a power not higher than 3/4 of the nominal power (no more than 3.5 kW in our case). The official full warranty covers one year of operation.

It is not desirable to drive it at the declared rated power for a long time, this was said to us casually in the service. Like, in the summer because of this it gets very hot and the piston wears out too much. So after this advice, we load it as much as possible as a face value minus 10%. It turns out only 4.5 kW, but it is able to work with such power for 12-15 hours. About three weeks after purchase, the oil sensor failed. They promptly took it to the service, where the sensor was replaced and the next day the generator went out of work again. He's also quite greedy. At 4.5 kW, the load consumes an average of just over two liters per hour.
