Zoom on the Pulsar PG5000BiSRCO

In short, the Pulsar PG5000BiSRCO is a compact portable inverter generator adequately designed for:

• RV travellers who wish to upgrade their experience to another level
• People occasionally participating in outdoor fairs, festivals or events
• Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials

In the following paragraphs, we shall explore the power characteristics, available outlets, portability, and any additional features of the device.

Power & Run Time

The Pulsar PG5000BiSRCO

The dual-fuel technology of the Pulsar PG5000BiSRCO allows for an output of 120V and provides superb power and versatility. If gasoline-powered, the device provides a running wattage of 4,000W and a starting wattage of 5,000W. If propane-powered, it gives 3,600 rated watts and 4,500 starting watts. In addition, the parallel capability (parallel kit not included) empowers increasing of power output when linked to another similar or compatible unit, ensuring expanded energy capacity and reliability for various applications.

Operating with a noise rating of 65 dBA (just slightly more noisy than background music), this inverter generator offers two starting options: a conventional pull-start mechanism and a practical and straightforward electric starter (battery included). Additionally, the PG5000BiSRCO features remote starting, offering users increased convenience (key fob included).

With a fuel capacity of 3 gallons, the PG5000BiSRCO can operate for around 9 hours at 50% load using gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.33 GPH), or for around 10.5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.45 GPH) using propane.

Thanks to its low <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the PG5000BiSRCO produces a clean sine wave output, making it safe for your sensitive electronics when utilizing the AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel includes the following 3 AC outlets:

Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R)

120V 30A (TT-30R) receptacle

Moreover, it presents 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) with which charging of electronics like mobile phones and tablets is made convenient.

Thanks to its TT-30R receptacle (TT stands for 'Travel Trailer'), this Pulsar generator is RV Ready.

Portability

With an inverter generator design, the Pulsar PG5000BiSRCO features a closed construction (L23.9 x W14.7 x H22.6 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring reduced noise levels, offering a distinct advantage over standard, open frame generators. The design follows the contemporary trends and is perfect for recreationally generating power.

As the PG5000BiSRCO's weight is only 78.2 lbs, it can follow you and your power needs anywhere. Moreover, its set of 2 wheels and its telescopic handle will allow you to easily shift it once it's on the ground.

Features

The PG5000BiSRCO's control panel

The device’s light indicators will display if the generator is overloaded, the generator is ready and the oil level is too low. To offer greater control and easy operation during nighttime, the panel is LED-lit.

In terms of security, the generator features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, ensuring peace of mind during its use.

The unit also benefits from Pulsar's CO Sentry carbon monoxide detection. The sensor monitors for the accumulation of poisonous carbon monoxide gas around the generator, and shuts down the engine is increasing levels of CO gas are detected.

Besides the classic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to get you promptly started, the Pulsar PG5000BiSRCO also comes with some accessories: key fob, tool kit, oil and propane hose are included.

The Pulsar PG5000BiSRCO versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Pulsar PG5000BiSRCO compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 3500 and 4500 W).

• Considering its weight, the Pulsar PG5000BiSRCO registers at a modest 78.2 pounds, placing it among the lighter inverter generators in the 3500 to 4500 rated wattage selection. If you are concerned by weight, one of the champions in the above-mentioned power range is the WEN 56432iX, with a dry weight of just 52.9 pounds.
• When comparing it to devices with a similar running wattage, this inverter generator's lowest noise level of 65 dBA puts it alongside the noisier units. If you are concerned with noise, check out the Westinghouse iGen5000DF, which is one of the least noisy generators in its power range, with a noise rating of just 52 dBA.
• As for its autonomy, the PG5000BiSRCO, with an autonomy of around 9 hours at a 50% load, is placed on the low end among the generators of its kind. For those prioritizing autonomy, the Firman W03663OF could be considered, as it offers one of the longest run times among generators with similar power output, reaching around 18 hours.
• While run time is vital, it hinges on the fuel capacity. To grasp the full picture, we must also factor in fuel efficiency. Standing at an estimated 0.33 GPH (gallon per hour) at a 50% load, this inverter generator is somewhat average in this area compared to other devices, within the aforementioned wattage range. If minimizing fuel usage is one of your key priorities, the Westinghouse iGen5000DF is one of the most efficient devices with similar power output, with a gasoline consumption of only 0.23 gallons per hour.
