Gorilla Power Parallel Kit for GP2000i, GP3500i & GP3800iE Inverter Generators

Description

Link two matching Gorilla Power inverter generators and run them as one bigger power supply. The Gorilla Power Parallel Kit joins two identical GP2000i, GP3500i or GP3800iE generators, so you can keep two lighter machines that are easy to lift and carry, and still power a catering trailer through a single 32A socket.

Is it a good fit for you?

• Yes if you have, or are buying, two of the same model: two GP2000i, two GP3500i or two GP3800iE.
• Yes if you need more power than one portable generator gives, but each machine has to stay small enough to lift and move.
• No for two different models. A GP3500i and a GP3800iE cannot be linked together: the generator manuals only allow two identical models.
• No for the GP5000iE, GP6500iE, GP8000iE, or the dual fuel and diesel Gorilla Power generators. They have no parallel connection.

Features & Benefits

• 32A socket on the control box, so a catering trailer or distribution board on a 32A lead plugs straight in.
• Built-in circuit breaker for overload protection.
• No tools needed: the leads connect to the parallel ports on each generator.
• Weather-resistant casing for outdoor events and pitches.
• Read the full technical specification in the Specs tab.

How much power will two generators give?

A little less than double one machine. Figures from the generator manuals:

• Two GP3500i: 5.7 kVA continuous, 6.3 kVA maximum for up to 30 minutes.
• Two GP3800iE: 6.3 kVA.
• Two GP2000i: a smaller supply. Ask us for the figure before you buy.

Both pairs give less than a full 32A supply (about 7.3kW). A trailer wired for 32A can plug in, but it can’t draw a full 32A for long. Add up the running watts of everything you’ll use at the same time and stay inside the figures above. Water boilers, fryers, griddles and kettles use the most power, so check their ratings first.

Using it safely

• Connect or disconnect the kit only with both engines switched off.
• On the GP3500i, set the economy (ECON) switch the same way on both generators.
• Remove the kit when you run a single generator.
• Keep within the combined rating. If you overload the pair, the overload light comes on and the power cuts out.
