Hyundai DHY8000SELR Diesel Generator Long Run Reviews

4.9 Rating 20 Reviews
Read Generators Direct Reviews

The DHY8000SELR is the long running version of the DHY8000SE, with a large 25L fuel tank which boosts the maximum running time of this standby diesel generator up to 25 hours.

Powered by a 4-stroke, air-cooled D452 Hyundai 3000rpm diesel engine, the DHY8000SELR has a maximum output of 5.8kW. It features the same AVR alternator which produces clean energy. Although it won’t be able to run everything it allows more essential home items to continue running in the event of a power cut when the National Grid fails.

The DHY8000SELR is ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) compatible and can be connected to an ATS system for maximum convenience. When the ATS module detects a loss of power from the mains supply it simply powers your generator up automatically, then shuts it off when it detects power returning from the mains. This is also an electric start diesel generator, with a simple turn of the key being all that’s required to start or stop the machine when controlled manually.

The DHY8000SELR is part of the Hyundai silent range so is a quiet generator and comes with a sound attenuated canopy to reduce overall noise levels making it suitable for domestic or low noise areas. The DHY8000SELR is also economical to run, using roughly 1L of diesel every hour.

For information on how to properly maintain this diesel generator, please consult the user manual.

Covered by a Hyundai 1 year standard warranty. Terms and Conditions apply.

Designed for standby use. For continuous power supply, we recommend a 1500rpm diesel generator.

Please Note: Dual voltage generators may only give approximately 50-60% of the rated output on 115V. Outputs are limited by the size of the sockets, based on the Voltage and Current (Power = Volts x Amps).

Equipped with a 25L fuel tank for an increased running time of up to 25 hours.
Powered by a 4-stroke, air-cooled D452 Hyundai 3000rpm diesel engine.
Produces a maximum of 5.8kW.
Optional use of ATS to automatically start and shutdown during a power cut.
Housed in a silenced case with a sound rating of just 70dB @ 7 metres.

Great service from Generator Direct and generator turned up as planned worked perfectly. Only criticism is that it’s not as silent as I hoped for but nevertheless good product.

Bought to replace an ageing DHY6000 which came with the house and fried its old lcd digital panel some years ago. All set up for a quick installation although I needed a new external exhaust pipe as the 6000 is a couple of mm smaller so the old pipe didn’t fit. Just running in now. Could do with an oil change procedure as I’m assuming the angled drip chute below the drain plug just guides the oil into a tray you slide in below unless there’s some clever gadget I’m unaware of.

The delivery was boxed up and strapped to an old partially damaged pallet. The generator weighes in excess of 150kg so getting it off the pallet took the effort of finding workmen to help. Having read the manually several times, no where did I see a notification that the batter is not connected for transport nor whether I needed to fill the oil fully or top it up. However, trying to start it without knowing that the battery wasn't connected resulted in my snapping the blade of the starter key. MY BAD. For another £15 they will send another one. The generator is a beast that sounds about as loud as my ride on mower. Hopefully, it will only be used occasionally as a backup to power my house if needed. Belts and braces...have had power disrupted on occasion for more than 18 hours in previous houses so this is a bit of an overkill. One last point: Hyundai makes good products but not really oriented to "out of the box" installations for domestic use of their products. Very basic information on pre-start up...e.g., connect the battery first!
