Powerhorse s27000d - 18000/27000W Dual Fuel Generator With Electric Start

In short, the Powerhorse s27000d is a powerful portable generator adequately designed for:

• Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
• Prudent homeowners who want a backup power source in case of a power outage

The subsequent sections will explore in detail its power characteristics, the diverse outlets it provides, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it offers.

Power & Run Time

Featuring dual-fuel technology, the Powerhorse s27000d provides 120/240V, as well as versatility and power. Running on gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 18,000W and a peak wattage of 27,000W. Alternatively, when fueled by propane, it offers 16,200 running watts and 24,300 peak watts.

At a noise rating of 97 dBA (which is pretty noisy), the generator is started via a simple and elegant electric starter (battery included).

Concerning its running time, the s27000d, featuring a 17.17 gallons fuel tank, can continuously run for around 8 hours at 50% load with a full gasoline tank (consuming fuel at approximately 2.15 gallons per hour). Alternatively, when utilizing propane, it offers around 2.8 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.68 GPH) of runtime.

The <5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the s27000d ensures a clean sine wave output, providing a secure power source for your sensitive electronics through its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel features the upcoming 8 AC outlets:

Additionally, it features 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A receptacle providing easy battery charging capabilities.

While not classified as 'RV Ready,' this Powerhorse generator can still provides the advantage of RV connection via its L5-30R receptacle, ensuring power supply to your RV with an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, since it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the s27000d is tailored to be transfer switch ready, making it easy to connect it to your breaker box for home power support during outages.

Portability

Measuring L38 x W25.5 x H33.6 in, the classic open frame construction of the Powerhorse s27000d provides stability while enabling convenient maintenance access to components and adequate air cooling. The generator is designed for ideal use outdoors and in rough environments.

Since the generator weighs 557 lbs, it will be incredibly difficult to manually lift it and transport it, even though it is technically considered to 'be portable' (in the sense that it is movable). However, the lack of maneuverability can be offset with its wheel kit (⌀13") and its folding handle, which allows for convenient shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.

A lift hook located on the top of the frame offers an additional safety feature while facilitating the transport, loading and unloading of the generator.

Features

The s27000d's control panel

Included in the control panel of the s27000d are a convenient meter showing you voltage, frequency and lifetime hours, essential for monitoring its status and activity.

Equipped with a built-in fuel gauge, the generator facilitates swift gas level checks.

As far as security is concerned, the generator can be used with a peace of mind, as it features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off.

It also includes a carbon monoxide sensor. This sensor is designed to monitor the level of carbon monoxide present during the generator's operation. If the generator is positioned incorrectly and carbon monoxide levels rise to an unsafe level, the generator will automatically shut down.

Alongside the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) for quick setup, the Powerhorse s27000d is bundled with additional accessories: propane hose, tool kit, funnel and battery charging cables.
