Hyundai DHY18COM-1 Diesel Generator

Reliable Prime and Backup Power for Homes and Businesses

The Hyundai DHY18COM-1 is a robust and high-performance single-phase diesel generator, designed to deliver dependable prime or standby power to homes, offices, farms, or light commercial sites. Compact in design yet powerful under the hood, this generator delivers a maximum output of 20.4kVA, ensuring your critical systems stay online when the grid doesn’t.

Performance That Powers Confidence

• Prime Output: 17kW / 20.4kVA

• Standby Output: 17kW / 19kVA

• Engine: Powered by a Hyundai 4DW91-29D, a 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, water-cooled diesel engine running at 1500rpm for optimal efficiency and durability.

Built for continuous or backup use, the slower-running 1500rpm design reduces engine stress and wear, extending lifespan significantly over higher-revving 3000rpm models.

Compact Yet Capable

Despite its impressive output, the DHY18COM-1 has a space-saving footprint compared to other 18kW water-cooled units—perfect for installations where space is limited but reliable power is essential.

Advanced AVR Protection

Fitted with an AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) alternator, this generator maintains a steady voltage output, making it safe for powering sensitive electronics such as computers, smart TVs, routers, and entertainment systems.

Seamless Power With ATS Compatibility

Fully ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) compatible, the DHY18COM-1 can detect a mains failure and automatically switch to generator power, then shut down once grid power is restored. This feature is invaluable for businesses or homes with refrigerators, data servers, or other mission-critical devices.

Smart Control With Deep Sea Electronics

At the heart of the DHY18COM-1 is a DSE6120 MKIII control panel from Deep Sea Electronics. The large LCD screen provides live data on key parameters, including:

• Voltage & frequency

• Engine hours

• Oil pressure

• Coolant temperature

Built-in safety features include alerts and automatic shutdown for:

• Low oil pressure

• High engine temperature

• Voltage/frequency irregularities

• Over/underspeed

Remote start functionality and an emergency stop button are also included for total control and peace of mind.

Cost-Effective Fuel Options

Runs efficiently on red diesel, offering a more economical fuel option without affecting warranty coverage—ideal for longer-term use or high-demand applications.

Delivery and Setup

Includes kerbside delivery as standard. Please note that a forklift will be required for unloading due to the generator’s size and weight.
