Hybrid Power
A green power solution
In combining a variable speed diesel generator with inverter technology Mastervolt has created the first true hybrid electrical power system. The system doesn\'t need full operation, not even to handle harsh start-up currents like, for instance, your air-conditioning system. The GPX-5 offers 10 kW of start-up power and 2 kW continuously power from the Mastervolt batteries via the GPX. Thus, at start-up, the generator does not run, only when a continuous load exceeds 2 kW.
Saving on fuel, material, size and weight
The revolutionary Mastervolt GPX-5 will also improve your fuel efficiency by 30-40%. First: the GPX-5 is equipped with a smaller generator since the batter helps to power short peaks in the AC load. Second: the generator will never run idle (or near idle), thus saving the most uneconomical running time. A permanent magnet alternator also generates power with a very high efficiency rate. Third: generator, inverter and charger are in one box and fully integrated. There is no energy loss in the transfer from generator to battery to inverter, saving you another 5-10%. Last but not least: the compact dimensions of the housing also save space and weight.
