The RATO R3800 is a powerful and compact RATO gasoline generator / aggregate of professional quality. The professional 3800 Watt petrol generator provides excellent performance on both 230 Volts. The continuous power is 3500 Watt. The generator has a 100% copper winding. The motor is equipped with an electronic protection. The unit has overload protection and the motor can be started easily by hand.
The generator is equipped with AVR security. AVR stands for an automatic volt regulation. This means a continuous voltage while an overload protection provides the necessary security. This protects your connected electrical machines from peak voltages. The generator is equipped with an LCD display with voltmeter and fuel gauge. The 24 liter tank capacity means you can use the generator for long periods of time (9 hours at full power and 13 hours at half load).
Peak current draw
Most electrical appliances require a little more power from the generator when starting up. This is called peak current draw. With a generator there is a risk that the continuous power and/or perhaps even the maximum total power will be exceeded.
If the maximum power is exceeded during “start-up”, the unit is 'too light' to start the device. The RATO unit then switches itself off automatically to prevent any damage to equipment.
A solution to the above problem is to connect the equipment in a different order. Always connect the device with the highest power/highest peak current first. If this works correctly and properly, you can also connect the rest, in order of power.
It is important that you never connect all devices at the same time. For some devices, the solution described above is not sufficient.
These devices require such a high peak power consumption that you should take this into account when purchasing a generator. Tools or machines without starting current limiter are a well-known example. This includes compressors, high-pressure cleaners, angle grinders, breakers/hammers, welding equipment, but also refrigerators and air conditioners. With these devices you have to multiply the power of this by a factor of 3 to sometimes 7 to see if the generator is suitable. Check this with the supplier of your machines.
Suppose you want to connect a 230 Volt angle grinder without starting current limiter with a power of 900 watts to the generator. In that case you have to multiply the 900 watts by 3. This results in a peak power consumption of 2700 Watts. When you choose a generator, it must therefore have a total power of at least 2700 Watt (at 230 Volt).
