RP5500

DESCRIPTION

The Cat® RP5500 is flexible enough for small jobs, home power outages, or a campsite.

Flexible and powerful

The perfect multi-use generator

This handy generator brings all of the power you need to take care of both play and home needs. Versatile enough to run your motorhome's microwave, fridge, fans, and TV or keep your home's fridge, freezer, washing machine, security system, and water heater working.

Safety first

We've designed our portable generators with your safety in mind. Snap-fit rubber outlet covers keep vital connections between your valuable devices and the generator protected against moisture, dust and debris . We've also installed ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) that shut off the power if it detects an issue in order to keep you safe.

4 in 1 digital display

All the vital information you need to operate your portable generator in a single display: voltage in use, frequency (Hz), current runtime in hours and total hours ran.
