Description
Three-phase machinery and a 230V supply, from one generator. The Hyundai DHY8000SELR-T switches between 230V single phase and 400V three phase, so a garage, workshop or farm can back up its equipment without buying two machines. Its 25-litre long run tank keeps it going when a power cut drags on.

Why buyers choose the DHY8000SELR-T
- Switchable 230V or 400V: a 32A single-phase outlet and a 16A three-phase outlet.
- Long run tank: 25L, giving about 14.6 hours at full load and up to 25 hours at lighter loads.
- Automatic start option: compatible with an ATS, or two-wire start using an ATS module and signal cable (sold separately).
- Turn-key electric start: no pull cord in the cold and wet.
- Stable power: AVR keeps voltage steady as loads change.
- Silent canopy: quoted at 70 dB(A) at 7m.
- Ready to connect: 16A three-phase and 32A 230V plugs are included.
Is it right for you?
Ideal for: garages, workshops, farms and small commercial units with some 400V equipment that need standby power.
Look elsewhere if: you only need 230V and 115V, where the standard DHY8000SELR has the right outlets; you need to run several large three-phase motors, in which case see our larger three-phase generators; or you need power every day, where a 1500rpm generator is the better choice.
What will it run?
The most important point on any three-phase generator is that its power is shared across the three phases. Of the 5kW continuous output, plan for about 1.67kW per phase, and keep the phases balanced.
| Equipment | Typical demand | Supply |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5kW three-phase motor (running) | About 1.7kW in total | 400V |
| Two-post vehicle lift | About 3kW, plus start-up surge | 400V |
| 3kW three-phase compressor | About 3.5kW, plus start-up surge | 400V |
| Workshop lighting | 200W | 230V |
| Office PC and router | 200W | 230V |
Important: a motor can draw six to eight times its running current as it starts. As a guide, motors up to about 1.5kW are comfortable on direct start. For larger motors, check the starting current with us or your electrician before ordering, as a soft starter or inverter drive may be needed.
Automatic or manual changeover?
To power your building's circuits, the generator must connect through a transfer switch suited to your supply, fitted by a qualified electrician. A manual switch is the simple, lower-cost route. An automatic transfer switch (ATS) starts the generator for you when the mains fails. Neither is included, so ask us which suits your site.
Getting it running
- Delivery: at 158kg it arrives palletised, so have a pallet truck or strong helpers ready.
- Battery: check the leads are connected the right way round before first start.
- Oil: check the level on a flat surface and top up before starting.
- Fuel: add clean diesel and bleed the fuel system as described in the manual if it doesn't start.
- Voltage: select 230V or 400V with the generator off, and check motor rotation direction when you first connect three-phase equipment.

FAQs
Can I use both outlets at once? It is switchable, so choose 230V or 400V for the job in hand.
How long will a tank really last? It depends on load. Expect about 14.6 hours at full load, and much longer at light load. Heavy loads will use fuel faster than the headline figure.
Can it start automatically? Yes, with a compatible ATS or ATS module, which is an optional extra.
How quiet is it? The canopy makes it much quieter than an open-frame set, but you will still hear it, especially at high load.
Can it run every day? It is designed for standby use. For frequent or continuous power, choose a 1500rpm generator.
Not sure it will start your machinery? Send us your motor sizes at sales@generator-uk.co.uk or call 01744 520110, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5pm, and we'll help you check.
Safety: run outdoors only, well away from doors and windows. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. Three-phase connections must be made by a qualified electrician.
