Unique Genverter Technology
Our 6 kVA generator is a combination of a diesel engine with integrated alternator and inverter, therefore the name Genverter. The main feature of this technology is the combination of output quality and surge power capability. Within a specific window of the rotating speed of the diesel engine, PMG provides the right quality of power to run electrical equipment such as tools, compressors, washing machines, air conditioners, electric cooking devices and various other AC equipment.
Ready to install
Our 6 kVA generator comes with all the fittings needed to connect the generator to the fuel tank, hoses to connect the engine to the cooling system, cables to connect the starter engine to the starter battery and wires to connect the generator to the boarded power system
Why inverter technology
Equipment such as air conditioners and electric motors are often controlled electronically to improve efficiency and performance. Conventional generators may not be able to operate these appliances. Our 6 kVA generator model is equipped with a PMG module (Power Module Genverter©) to ensure that voltage and frequency are kept perfectly within the rotating speed range to keep everything running without interruption. The surge power is generated by the PMG to increase the inductive load.
Stage V Certified, low emission indirect water-cooled engine
Only the best 2-cylinder engines are used. A durable, reliable and quiet engine that meets EPA /Tier 4 (U.S. standards) and Stage V (European standards). The engine and PM alternator back-end are connected into one cooling circuit and kept at a constant temperature using a heat exchanger.

20,5 x 18,5 x 21,3 in., 319,7 lb.
Quiet & vibration free
Vibration is just as annoying as an overly loud diesel engine. A combination of customized shock mounts and sound enclosure make for an ultra-quiet and virtually vibration free construction. All parts needed to be serviced are located on one side of the Genverter. Effective mounting of the engine within the enclosure result in an audible noise level of less than 60 dBA and virtually no vibration.
Installation solutions
High class installation parts
A system is only as strong as its weakest link. WhisperPower literally developed all the components and products needed for a perfect installation. The main goal is to ensure a good installation. All these mounting accessories are provided as kits: the metal strainer with hoses and valves, the fuel filter, the siphon breaker, the water-cooled exhaust system in different variants including high-quality certified rubber hoses, the starter battery with additional battery charger, copper cables etc. All high quality from a single source.
Any space will do
Our 6 kVA generator can be installed in the smallest locations as they are super compact. Only slight air ventilation is needed, as the entire generator including alternator is water-watercooled.
