Stephill SE2700 Petrol Generator: Compact, Reliable Power for Versatile Use
The Stephill SE2700 is a compact and durable open-frame petrol generator, designed and manufactured in the UK to provide affordable yet reliable power for a wide range of applications. Part of Stephill's "Super Economy" series, it's an excellent choice for powering small to medium-sized tools, lighting, and general electrical equipment on light construction sites, in workshops, for DIY projects, or as a reliable backup power source. Its core strength lies in combining a genuine Honda engine with Stephill's robust British-built frame and components.
Features
- Genuine Honda GX160 Engine: At the heart of the SE2700 is the highly acclaimed Honda GX160 5.5HP (163cc) 4-stroke petrol engine. These engines are renowned for their exceptional reliability, fuel efficiency, easy recoil starting, and long lifespan, even under demanding conditions.
- Optimal Power Output:
- Rated Output: 2.2 kW
- Maximum Output: 2.2 kW (or 2.7 kVA)
- Provides a consistent and stable power supply suitable for a variety of electrical loads.
- Dual Voltage Capability: Equipped with two industrial BS4343 sockets:
- 1 x 16A 115V
- 1 x 16A 230V This dual voltage output ensures compatibility with a broad range of tools and equipment commonly used on UK sites and in domestic settings.
- Brushless, Smooth Waveform Alternator: Features a high-quality NSM K80B brushless alternator. This provides a clean and stable power output, making it suitable for running various electrical tools, including those with sensitive electronics (though for extremely sensitive electronics, an AVR model or inverter generator might be preferred). Being brushless, it requires less maintenance.
- Rugged, Fully Welded Frame: Constructed with a heavy-duty, fully welded wrap-around steel frame. This robust design provides maximum protection for the engine and alternator against impacts and harsh working environments, enhancing durability and longevity.
- Anti-Vibration Mounts: The engine and alternator are mounted on angled rubber mounts to effectively minimise vibration, contributing to smoother operation and reduced wear on components.
- Essential Safety Features:
- Oil Alert / Low Oil Shutdown: Automatically protects the engine by shutting it down if the oil level falls below a safe operating threshold, preventing costly damage.
- Circuit Breaker Overload Protection: Features a reset circuit breaker to protect the generator and connected appliances from damage in case of an electrical overload.
- Compact & Portable: With typical dimensions of L610 x W420 x H415mm and a dry weight of approximately 34 kg, the SE2700 is easy to transport and position, even in confined spaces.
- Fuel Efficiency & Run Time: Equipped with a 3.1 to 3.6-litre fuel tank (specifications can vary slightly). This typically provides a run time of approximately 3.1 to 3.6 hours at 75% load. A "Long Run" (LR) version with an 11-litre tank is also available for extended operation (approx. 11 hours run time).
- Low Noise Level: Operates at a relatively quiet 69-73 dB(A) @ 7 metres (Sound Pressure Level), making it less disruptive than many comparable generators.
- UK Manufactured: Stephill Generators are designed and built in the UK, reflecting a commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
- Guaranteed Sound Power Level (LWA): 94 - 96 dB(A)
- Dimensions (L x W x H): 610 x 420 x 415 mm
- Weight (Dry): Approx. 34 kg
Applications
The Stephill SE2700 is a versatile power source for a wide range of uses:
- Light Construction & Building Sites: Powering drills, grinders, small cement mixers, site lighting, and other 110V tools.
- DIY & Home Use: Ideal for powering tools in gardens, sheds, or during home renovation projects where mains power is unavailable.
- Workshops & Garages: Providing mobile power for hand tools and equipment.
- Agricultural Settings: Running small pumps, tools, or lighting in remote farm areas.
- Outdoor Events & Leisure: Suitable for powering small outdoor stalls, camping equipment, or lighting.
- Emergency Backup: A reliable option for temporary power during grid outages.
Standards & Compliance
Stephill Generators are designed and manufactured to meet stringent quality and safety standards:
- CE Marking: Conforms to all applicable European Directives (e.g., Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU).
- ISO 8528-1: Often complies with this standard for reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets.
- Noise Compliance: Designed to adhere to relevant noise emission regulations for generators. Hearing protection is recommended during operation.
