Hyundai HY3800LEK-2 3.2kW 4kVA Petrol Generator

The Hyundai HY3800LEK-2 is a 3.2 kW / 4 kVA petrol generator with electric start.

This is a practical general-purpose rating: a couple of hand tools, task lighting, or a small welfare unit. Electric start makes a real difference day to day on a petrol engine of this size, particularly in cold weather when recoil starting becomes a genuine effort.

The 3.2 kW and 4 kVA figures describe the same machine measured two ways, and motor loads draw against the kVA figure rather than the kW one. If you are sizing against a compressor or pump, our sizing guide explains how to read both.
