It has 63A and 32A outlets, an ATS socket ready for automatic changeover, and a wheel kit so it isn't stuck where it's delivered.

Why buyers choose the SCD11000SE

  • Serious capacity. 8kW continuous and 8.5kW maximum on 230V single phase.
  • Long running. The 30-litre tank is quoted at up to 15 hours at 75% load.
  • ATS socket. Ready to work with a Senci automatic transfer switch, so it can start itself in a power cut.
  • Battery included. A 36Ah battery gives simple electric starting.
  • Protected as standard. AVR, a circuit breaker for overloads, and low-oil automatic shutdown.
  • Easy to position. Four wheels and handles, combining swivel wheels with never-flat wheels.

Is it right for you?

Ideal for: workshops, farms, small commercial units and larger homes needing dependable single-phase backup, and sites that can tolerate some noise.

Look elsewhere if: noise is a concern, because this is a working machine rather than a quiet one. For a quieter canopied diesel, see the Hyundai DHY12500SE or our silent and canopied generators. If you have three-phase equipment, see our three-phase generators.

What will it run?

Plan around the 8kW continuous output, and have your actual load checked by an electrician. The 8.5kW maximum is for short bursts, such as a motor starting. A 32A socket supplies up to about 7.4kW, so use the 63A outlet for the full output.

Appliance Typical running watts
Fridge freezer (higher start-up draw) 150 to 300W
Central heating pump and boiler electrics 100 to 200W
Lighting for a whole property 200 to 500W
Microwave (800W cooking power) around 1,200W
Kettle 2,500 to 3,000W
Compressor or welder (very high start-up draw) Check before buying
Electric shower 8,500W and up: too much for this generator

Example: fridge freezer 200W + boiler electrics 150W + lights 300W + TV and broadband 200W + kettle 3,000W + microwave 1,200W comes to about 5,050W, which leaves around 2,950W in hand. Check the rating plates on your own appliances, as figures vary.

Connecting it for standby

This generator should be connected by a qualified electrician. Use a manual changeover switch, or a Senci automatic transfer switch with the ATS socket for automatic start. The ATS unit is not included. Either way, the generator and the mains must never be connected together, and it must never be fed through a socket.

Getting it running

  • Choose a level, solid base outdoors with clear air around the canopy. At 205kg, keep to firm ground and use mechanical lifting to load it.
  • Add 1.8 litres of 15W-40 or 10W-40 oil and check the level before the first start. Low-oil shutdown protects the engine.
  • Fill with clean diesel and check that the battery is connected.
  • Start it with no load attached and let it settle before plugging in or switching over.

FAQs

Is it a quiet generator? No. It has a sound-reducing canopy, but it's quoted at 73 to 75 dB(A) at 7m, and buyers have reported it sounding louder than they expected. If low noise matters, choose a silent model.

Will it start automatically in a power cut? Only with a Senci automatic transfer switch fitted, as that unit is not included. Ask us about the option that suits your installation.

Will it run a welder or compressor? Possibly, but they draw far more at start-up than when running. Send us the rating plate details and we'll check it first.

Not sure it's the right size? Send us your appliance list at sales@generator-uk.co.uk or call 01744 520110, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5pm, and we'll help you size it.

Safety: run outdoors only, well away from doors and windows. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. Let the engine cool before refuelling.
