Hyundai DHY8700SE-LRS silenced diesel generator outside an off-grid timber cabin with a water tank and firewood stack

The Hyundai DHY8700SE-LRS Keeps the Power on Without Waking the House

8kVA Silenced Diesel | 2-Wire Auto Start | 17L Long-Run Tank | 9hr Runtime

A blackout at 2am usually means stumbling outside to a generator that's loud enough to wake the whole street, then hoping there's enough diesel left in the tank to see you through till morning. It's the reason plenty of blokes give up on backup power altogether, and exactly the routine the Hyundai DHY8700SE-LRS was built to end.

Locked inside a fully silenced canopy at 72dB, it idles away in the background while the fridge, lights and granny flat all stay running. Hit the 2-wire auto start and the 17 litre tank has you covered for 9 hours at 75% load, no jerry can required.

Why Tradies & Farmers Rate the Hyundai DHY8700SE-LRS Generator

Fully Silenced Canopy at 72dB

Open frame diesels announce themselves the second they fire up. The DHY8700SE-LRS sits inside a fully enclosed canopy rated at just 72dB from 7 metres, so it runs the fridge and lights without turning into the neighbourhood's problem.

17 Litre Long-Run Tank

A bigger tank means fewer trips outside in the dark. At 75% load you're looking at around 9 hours between refuels, enough to get through most overnight outages without setting an alarm.

2-Wire Auto Start, Ready for a Transfer Switch

No pull cord, no fumbling with a torch in one hand. The 2-wire auto start means it's ready to be wired into an automatic transfer switch for genuinely hands-off backup power.

Built to Sit There and Just Work

At 161kg on locking castor wheels, this isn't a generator that blows around in the wind or walks itself off the back of the ute. It's built for standby duty, sitting on a slab or a trailer and doing its job when it's needed.

Two Outlet Options for Bigger Loads

A 32 amp 240V outlet plus two 15 amp 240V outlets means you can run a heavier circuit through a switchboard connection while still having spare outlets free for everyday gear.

Not Sure Which Generator Suits You?

The DHY8700SE-LRS is built for standby and off-grid backup power at home or on a rural property, not for throwing in the back of the ute for a weekend at the beach. If you need something portable for camping or the caravan, a lightweight petrol inverter like the Hyundai HY3500iE will suit you better. Give us a call and we'll help you match the generator to your actual power needs, not just the price tag.

Hyundai DHY8700SE-LRS FAQs

How long will the Hyundai DHY8700SE-LRS run on a full tank?

The 17 litre tank gives you around 9 hours of run time at 75% load. Run time increases at lighter loads and drops as you push closer to the 5800W continuous rating, so plan fuel top-ups around your actual draw rather than the maximum figure.

How loud is the Hyundai DHY8700SE-LRS?

It is rated at 72dB from 7 metres thanks to the fully enclosed, sound-attenuated canopy. That is noticeably quieter than an open frame diesel of the same size, and quiet enough to run overnight without becoming a problem for the house or the neighbours.

Can the Hyundai DHY8700SE-LRS run a whole house?

With 5800W continuous and 6400W (8kVA) surge, it will run a good slab of a typical home's essential circuits, fridge, lights, TV and a few power points, but it is not rated for prime power or running an entire house at full draw indefinitely. For whole-home standby, talk to a licensed electrician about which circuits to wire through a transfer switch.

Does the Hyundai DHY8700SE-LRS work with an automatic transfer switch?

Yes. It has 2-wire auto start, which means it is ready to be wired into a compatible automatic transfer switch by a licensed electrician for hands-off backup power when the grid drops out.

What warranty comes with the Hyundai DHY8700SE-LRS?

It carries a 12 month (or 500 hours, whichever comes first) limited warranty from Hyundai, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. True Gear ships this unit Australia wide and the warranty is handled through the Hyundai dealer network.

How much does the Hyundai DHY8700SE-LRS weigh?

It weighs 161kg and sits on locking castor wheels, so it is built to be positioned once on a slab, trailer or in a shed rather than carried in and out for weekend use. Dimensions are 990 x 565 x 770mm.
