The Powertec PT5500i is a mid-range open-frame inverter generator built for NZ tradespeople and homeowners who need more power than a compact portable can deliver — without the size and weight of a full-size conventional unit. Driven by a 312cc Powerdyne 4-stroke OHV engine, it outputs 5500W peak and 5000W rated with pure sine wave inverter technology, making it safe for variable speed tools, battery chargers, laptops, and sensitive electronics. A 32A outlet, 15.5L fuel tank, and parallel capability (up to 9000W with a second unit) make the PT5500i a genuinely versatile generator NZ sites can depend on.
