Product Overview

Powertec PT5500i 5500W/6.9kVA Inverter Generator

The Powertec PT5500i 5500W/6.9kVA Inverter Generator is built for users who need higher output without sacrificing portability or power quality. With 5500W peak and 5000W continuous single-phase 230V power, it’s ideal for running fridges, pumps, tools and sensitive electronics during outages, on the job or off-grid.

Driven by a robust 312cc Powerdyne 4-stroke OHV engine and paired with a 15.5L fuel tank, the PT5500i delivers up to 8.5 hours of runtime. ECO mode automatically adjusts engine speed to match load, improving fuel efficiency and reducing noise, while safety features like low oil alert and fuel shutoff make operation and transport safer and easier.

Key Features

High output inverter power
Provides 5500W/6.9kVA peak and 5000W continuous single-phase 230V power, suitable for running larger loads and sensitive equipment at home, on site or at the campsite.

Powerful 312cc 4-stroke OHV engine
The Powerdyne 4-stroke OHV engine delivers reliable starting, strong performance and long service life under regular use.

Multiple 230V and USB outlets
Includes 1x 32A and 1x 15A 230V outlets, plus twin USB ports, making it ideal for both domestic appliances and small sensitive electronics like phones and tablets.

Clean, stable inverter output
Inverter technology provides stable, low-distortion power, helping protect modern electronics, chargers and control systems from voltage spikes and fluctuations.

Fuel-efficient ECO mode
ECO mode automatically adjusts engine RPM to match the load, reducing fuel consumption, engine wear and noise levels during lighter use.

Generous 15.5L fuel tank & long runtime
A compact 15.5L tank delivers up to 8.5 hours of runtime, giving extended operation for overnight camping or longer backup periods without constant refuelling.

Safe fuel shutoff for transport
Fuel shutoff feature allows you to safely isolate fuel for storage or transport, helping prevent spills and making moving the 52kg unit more secure.

Parallel connection ready
Optional parallel connection lets you synchronise two compatible units to meet higher power demands of up to 9000W when required.

Durable, air-cooled design
Air-cooled construction and quality components support reliable performance, while the compact 635 x 470 x 530mm footprint makes storage straightforward.

Low oil alert protection
Low oil cutout helps protect the engine by automatically shutting it down when oil levels are too low, adding peace of mind and extending engine life.
