2.2 kVA Single Phase Portable Petrol Generator
A 2.2 kVA single-phase petrol generator for lights, a fridge, Wi-Fi and phone charging through an outage. Recoil start, air-cooled single cylinder, light enough for one person to move. Suited to occasional use measured in hours per week rather than hours per day — for anything longer, a diesel set costs far less per hour to run.

Frequently asked questions
Answers are plain text on the page for search engines and buyers alike.
What will a 2.2 kVA generator actually run?
At about 1.8 kW of prime power, this unit covers mixed commercial loads — lighting, HVAC packages, refrigeration, lifts and IT — provided the largest motor starts are within the set’s surge capacity. We size final selections against your measured or estimated load profile.
Is installation included with the 2.2 kVA Single Phase Portable Petrol Generator?
Supply can be unit-only or turnkey. SANS 10142-1 compliant installation, AMF integration and a Certificate of Compliance on handover are available nationwide. Ask for a site-specific quote.
How noisy is the silent canopy?
This set is rated at approximately 65 dB(A) at 7 m under standard test conditions. Site layout, barriers and load profile affect the figure you hear on the ground.
What warranty and parts support do I get?
Standard cover is 12 months. Genuine Hyundai and alternator parts are held for common service intervals, with regional breakdown response across Southern Africa.
Can I finance or lease this generator?
Yes. We work with asset-finance partners on outright purchase, lease and rent-to-own structures for qualifying businesses. Procurement and tender packs are available on request.
