Excel Power XL3500i | 3.2kW Inverter Generator | 230V | Pure Sine Wave | 59dB
The Excel Power XL3500i is a compact suitcase-style petrol inverter generator designed to provide powerful, clean and portable electricity for domestic, leisure, mobile and light trade applications.
Delivering up to 3200W maximum output and 3000W rated continuous power, the XL3500i combines true sine wave inverter technology with quiet Eco mode operation, parallel capability, multiple electrical outputs and an integrated transport system.
At just 25.3kg, with an extendable handle and rear wheels, the XL3500i provides an excellent balance of high output and portability for users who need substantially more power than a small leisure generator without moving to a large open-frame machine.
3.2kW Maximum Power Output
The Excel Power XL3500i delivers:
- 3200W maximum output
- 3000W rated continuous output
- 230V AC power
- True sine wave inverter technology
Its 3kW continuous output makes the XL3500i suitable for a broad range of electrical equipment while retaining the benefits of inverter-generated power.
Always check both the running and starting requirements of connected equipment before use.
True Sine Wave Inverter Technology
The XL3500i uses advanced inverter technology to provide clean true sine wave electricity.
This makes it suitable for conventional appliances as well as many sensitive electronic devices where stable electrical output is particularly important.
Typical equipment can include:
- Laptops
- Televisions
- Battery chargers
- Mobile devices
- Electronic control equipment
- Office equipment
- Domestic appliances
- Leisure equipment
The combination of 3kW rated output and true sine wave power gives the XL3500i considerably more flexibility than many smaller inverter generators.
Quiet 59dB(A) Eco Mode Operation
The XL3500i has a quoted noise level of approximately:
59dB(A) at 7 metres in Eco mode
The enclosed suitcase-style casing helps reduce operating noise compared with traditional open-frame generators.
This makes it particularly suitable for applications where lower noise levels are desirable, including:
- Camping
- Caravanning
- Motorhomes
- Outdoor events
- Residential backup applications
- Mobile working
Actual sound levels can vary according to load and operating conditions.
Eco Mode
The control panel incorporates an Eco Switch / low-idle mode.
When full engine output is not required, Eco mode can reduce engine speed to help:
- Reduce fuel consumption
- Lower operating noise
- Improve efficiency
- Extend running periods
- Reduce unnecessary engine speed
This is particularly beneficial when powering lighter or variable loads.
Parallel Generator Capability
The XL3500i includes dedicated parallel connection ports.
This allows two compatible generator units to be connected together where additional power is required.
Parallel operation gives users the flexibility to run a single generator for everyday applications and add another compatible unit when higher electrical demand is required.
The manufacturer's approved parallel connection equipment should always be used.
230V 13A UK Socket
The control panel includes a dedicated:
230V 13A UK socket outlet
This allows standard compatible UK appliances and equipment to be connected directly to the generator.
230V 16A Industrial Socket
The XL3500i is also equipped with a:
230V 16A industrial socket
The product information indicates this can be used with a UK adapter, providing additional flexibility for trade, leisure and mobile applications.
12V DC Output
A dedicated 12V DC socket provides an additional low-voltage output option for compatible equipment.
USB Charging Output
The control panel includes a 5V DC USB socket, providing convenient direct charging for compatible portable electronic devices.
This is particularly useful for:
- Mobile phones
- USB battery packs
- Small electronic devices
- Other compatible USB-powered equipment
Digital Information Centre
An integrated information centre displays useful operating information including:
- Voltage
- Frequency
- Operating hours
The operating-hours display can also help users keep track of servicing and maintenance intervals.
Fuel Tap & Choke Control
The XL3500i incorporates an accessible fuel tap with choke control.
This provides straightforward fuel control and assists with engine starting.
Earth Connection
A dedicated earth connection is provided on the control panel.
Earthing requirements vary depending on application and installation, so appropriate electrical guidance should always be followed.
Compact 25.3kg Design
One of the major advantages of the XL3500i is its combination of high output and manageable weight.
The generator weighs approximately:
25.3kg
Its overall dimensions are approximately:
- 500mm long
- 300mm wide
- 480mm high
This gives the unit a particularly compact footprint for a generator capable of producing up to 3.2kW.
Extendable Handle & Rear Wheels
The XL3500i is designed to make transportation easier.
It incorporates:
- Extendable transport handle
- Rear wheels
- Integrated upper carrying handle
This allows the generator to be rolled into position rather than having to be carried every time it is moved.
For a 25.3kg generator, this is a particularly useful feature when travelling, loading vehicles or repositioning the generator around a property or work area.
Enclosed Suitcase-Style Design
The XL3500i uses an enclosed suitcase-style housing rather than a traditional exposed open frame.
This provides several practical advantages:
- Reduced operating noise
- Improved protection of internal components
- Cleaner appearance
- Compact storage
- Easier transportation
- Integrated handling features
Euro V Engine
The XL3500i uses a Euro V compliant petrol engine, helping meet modern emissions requirements.
This combines with its inverter technology and Eco mode to provide an efficient modern portable power solution.
Typical Applications
The Excel Power XL3500i is suitable for a wide variety of portable power applications, including:
- Camping
- Caravanning
- Motorhomes
- Domestic backup power
- Outdoor leisure
- Mobile working
- Market stalls
- Outdoor events
- Light trade applications
- Battery charging
- Domestic appliances
- Sensitive electronics
- Office equipment
With its combination of 3.2kW maximum output, 3kW rated power, true sine wave technology, 59dB(A) Eco mode operation and wheeled 25.3kg construction, the XL3500i is a versatile high-output portable inverter generator.
3-Year Warranty
The Excel Power XL3500i is covered by a 3-year warranty, providing additional reassurance for users requiring dependable portable power.
Warranty terms and conditions should always be checked before purchase.
