Excel Power XL4000ii 3.8KW Inverter Generator

The Excel Power XL4000ii petrol inverter generator is the updated and upgraded version of the best-selling XL4000i – now it has electric start, automatic choke, remote start and stop key fob and an improved looking tough external case. 

Giving 3.8kW at a maximum there are very few generators that can compare to the specification and quality of this unit from UK brand Excel Power. This is a high-end spec generator that comes at less than the price of a low powered unit from the competitors. 

It is heavy duty and feature packed but is easy to move thanks to its integrated extendable handle and rear wheels.

Having the remote start and stop is a great feature that means you can switch it off easily when not required and fire it up again without having to go outside. 

As an Excel Power Inverter Generator, the XL4000ii generator has a pure sine wave output. This unit has enough power to keep all your essentials and more running when you are caravanning, camping or running your business.

Power Rating of the Excel Power XL4000ii

The XL4000ii generator has an excellent maximum rating of 3800W and a continuous rating of 3500W. This gives great scope for powering a wide range of devices.*

The maximum rating of this XL4000ii is 3.8kW and is the most this generator will provide for a short time to ‘start’ things. Some devices have a starting current that is higher than its running current so this allows for that*. This generator will run comfortably at 3.5kW as its ‘continuous’ rating but run it at a higher load and it will trip out. 

If you need more power or want some spare capacity then have a look at the Excel Power biggest, grandest inverter generator available – the XL8000ii. 

If you find that you can live with a lower powered generator then the slightly smaller with less features XL3500i or XL2200i could be a great choice and the smallest of the range XL1400i will keep the lights on and devices charged. 

You may need an alternative fuel, the XL4000ii is available in a dual-fuel version called the XL4000i-DF.

XL4000ii – Electrical connection

The XL4000ii has two UK standard 3 pin sockets which means no adapters are required – this generator was designed in the UK for use in the UK!

It also has a 12VDC ‘car style’ socket for powering low voltage items and a 5VDC USB connector so you can charge USB devices directly.

Parallel connection

The XL4000ii can be connected in parallel to give you nearly twice the power output of 6.5kW. You will need a Parallel Kit so you have the larger sockets to get the full power from both generators. 

This provides a high power, flexible solution. If your power needs are lower one day you can run one generator (quieter and less fuel) and the next you may have a higher power requirement so simply parallel the second unit in.

Do inverter generators have low emission engines?

The higher the generator, the bigger the engine – the XL4000ii uses the SV230 223cc overhead valve engine which is emissions certified to Euro V standard. This is the best petrol engine emissions standard currently available. 

Yet another step to help is the engine is designed with E10 petrol in mind – there is no loss of performance using this more environmentally friendly fuel type.

Great features of the Excel Power Generator- Simple to use and easy to store

The XL4000ii inverter generator is feature packed which makes it easy and simple to use: –  

• Easy Electrical Starting System – One touch starting – no choke to pull out and warm up.
• Pull Cord Backup Starting – If the battery is flat then this is no problem. 
• Eco-Mode (low idle) switch for low load running – Enjoy lower noise levels and lower fuel consumption when using the generator for low load running. 
• Full dashboard with digital read-out for engine hours, voltage and frequency – you can keep an eye on voltage, frequency and hours run. 
• Low Oil Level Protection – the XL4000ii keeps an eye on oil levels, prevents starting and shuts down if necessary. 
• Extendable Handle and Rear Wheels – No need to carry this generator as it has wheels and extendable handles for great manoeuvrability. 
• Low Noise Level – All generators make noise but this is one of the best at 62dB(A) at 7m at 50% load. 

XL4000ii- Durable, long running and economical

Generators are used in some extreme environments such as emergency services, marine or building sites so the XL4000ii inverter comes with a tough and durable case.

It also features a 10 litre fuel tank to give a long time between fill ups and this made longer by using the Eco-Mode that varies the engine revs depending on load. So the XL4000ii goes quiet and uses less fuel when you have less equipment.
