Reliable diesel backup without paying for more generator than you need. The Hyundai DHY6000SE delivers 4.5kW of continuous power from a compact canopied diesel set, with key start and the option of automatic starting, to keep a home or small business running when the mains fails.
✔ Authorised UK reseller ✔ Free delivery to mainland UK ✔ Prices include VAT ✔ 1-year Hyundai warranty
Ideal for: home standby power, small shops and offices, workshops, and rural properties prone to power cuts.
Look elsewhere if: you want longer between fills and a little more power, in which case see the DHY8000SELR Long Run; it will sit in one fixed place, where the no-wheels DHY6000SE-LT800 may suit better; or you need power every day, where a 1500rpm generator is the right choice.
Plan around the 4.5kW continuous figure, not the 5.2kW maximum. These are typical running loads, so check your own appliance labels.
| Appliance | Typical running watts |
|---|---|
| Fridge-freezer | 150W (several times more for a moment at start-up) |
| Gas boiler and pump | 200W |
| LED lighting, whole home | 100W |
| Router, TV and chargers | 200W |
| Till and shop PC | 200W |
| Kettle | 3,000W |
Example: fridge-freezer, boiler, lights, router and TV come to about 650W, leaving nearly 4kW spare. An electric shower or several electric heaters will be too much. Start your largest motor load first. Dual-voltage sets give only around 50-60% of rated output on 115V.
To power your building's circuits, the generator must connect through a transfer switch fitted by a qualified electrician. A manual switch is the simple, lower-cost route. An automatic transfer switch (ATS) starts the generator for you, even when nobody is there, which suits freezers, security systems and properties often left empty. Neither is included, so ask us which suits your property.

| Protection | Low-oil alert and automatic shutdown |
| Noise | 70 dB(A) at 7m; 96 dB sound power (LwA) |
| Weight | 152kg |
| Dimensions (L x W x H) | 930 x 530 x 720mm |

| Warranty | 1 year Hyundai standard warranty |
Can it start automatically in a power cut? Yes, when paired with a compatible ATS, which is an optional extra. Without one, you start it with the key.
How quiet is it? The canopy makes it much quieter than an open-frame set, but it still gets noticeably louder at high load. Site it away from bedrooms and neighbours.
Can I plug in normal household appliances? Not directly. The outlets are industrial-style 16A and 32A, so you need a suitable adaptor or a transfer switch.
Can it run every day? It is designed for standby use. For frequent or continuous power, choose a 1500rpm generator.
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.
