ML3500 — documented 50/60 Hz generator variants
Evidence classification: MLBE’s previously published model figures, subject to the configuration and source notes below. Published catalogue values are not independent laboratory verification. Learn how to assess stated values and request stronger source material in MLBE’s technical content verification standards.
| Parameter | Published MLBE information |
|---|---|
| Rated AC output | 2.8 / 3.0 kW for the listed alternative frequency configurations |
| Maximum AC output | 3.0 / 3.2 kW; not a continuous-load rating |
| Frequency / voltage | 50/60 Hz; 220 V / 110 V variants as specified on order |
| Engine | ML170F(E), 212 cc in the published model-family table |
| Fuel tank | 13 litres |
| Runtime at half load | 9 hours in published comparison; test methodology not provided |
| Net / gross mass | 45 / 49 kg |
| Packed dimensions | 605 × 460 × 490 mm |
Model-specific source and limitations
The paired output figures must be matched to the ordered frequency and voltage; they are not two simultaneous ratings. If the generator’s panel, protection or load testing differs from this published model-family sheet, the quotation must use the actual supplied configuration. Sound power and socket schedule still require their own evidence.
Technical source: MLBE published model / comparison page. For test method background, see the independent technical standard or testing framework; this link does not imply product certification. For the actual serial-numbered configuration and service references, use MLBE technical support and the manual library.
ML3500: electrical output and runtime evidence
The specification status below distinguishes current MLBE product-listing statements from configuration-specific evidence that still needs factory confirmation.
| Item | Published detail | Verification status |
|---|---|---|
| Rated output | 2.8 / 3.0 kW published values | Confirm which value corresponds to the ordered 50/60 Hz configuration |
| Maximum output | 3.0 / 3.2 kW published values | Peak output is not the continuous rating |
| Runtime | Up to nine hours at 50% load stated on the listing | Ask for the test load, fuel type and measurement procedure |
| Sound and outlets | No model-specific measured dB(A), distance or market socket drawing supplied in this section | Request noise report, outlet layout and circuit protection documentation |
Model-specific selection note
Select the ML3500 using the continuous-load requirement and the starting current of any motor loads. Runtime at 50% load must not be presented as guaranteed at full load. A market-specific voltage/frequency and connector schedule should be part of the signed quotation.
Compare the ML2500 portable petrol generator and the related operation and buying guide. Consult the MLBE model manual library; request matching technical drawings, maintenance instructions, relevant spare-parts references and evidence of tests through technical support. For wholesale specifications and quantities, email the factory.
Matching ML3500 to portable-power needs
ML3500 selection should start with the intended loads and the correct voltage and frequency. Check the rated output for the chosen configuration and allow for starting demand from motors. Plan movement, storage and outdoor operating space along with the electrical specification.
Configuration checklist
- List the equipment that must run together and identify motor or compressor starting demand.
- Specify voltage, frequency, phase, sockets and the required starting system; separate standard equipment from options.
- Include transport accessories, battery where applicable and the required model-specific service-parts package in the written order.
Will a lightly loaded generator always reach the advertised running time?
Running time still depends on the stated test load, fuel, environment and machine condition. Use the published load condition as a comparison reference and confirm the requirement for the actual duty.
Operation and service planning
Operate portable combustion generators outdoors, away from doors, windows and vents, with exhaust directed away from occupied areas. Never connect a generator to a building through a wall socket. A building connection requires a qualified electrician and suitable transfer equipment. Stop and cool the engine before refuelling.
For ML3500 service enquiries, identify the 212 cc ML170F(E) engine and the supplied 50 or 60 Hz electrical configuration. The published rated outputs differ by frequency, so include the generator nameplate, control-panel photograph and starting system when requesting engine or electrical parts. Contact MLBE technical support with these details. The MLBE document centre helps identify the relevant resources. Confirm document revision, included accessories, packaging and agreed support terms for the supplied configuration.
Compare ML2500 and ML2500iS for related MLBE options. For factory orders, provide quantities, destination, configuration and artwork requirements through MLBE dealer and OEM supply.
ML3500: rated power and order planning
Which ML3500 output figure should I use for selection?
The page distinguishes rated output of 2.8 / 3.0 kW from maximum output of 3.0 / 3.2 kW. Confirm the figure corresponding to the ordered frequency, and provide the starting requirements of motor-driven loads.
Is the listed runtime guaranteed for every application?
The listed runtime is up to nine hours at 50% load. Request the relevant test conditions and use the intended load profile when discussing runtime with MLBE.
For order preparation, see the 3 kW versus 5 kW dealer range guide. Browse the petrol generator range, or request model-specific documents through MLBE technical support.
MLBE ML3500 Petrol Generator Overview
The MLBE ML3500 is a portable open-frame petrol generator designed for farms, workshops, small businesses and general backup-power applications. It is suitable for importers and distributors seeking a practical generator platform with straightforward operation and service requirements.
