RUGGED POWER FOR WORK, HOME & RECREATION
The Polaris P5500 is a heavy-duty open-frame generator designed to provide dependable portable power for jobsites, home backup, RVs, farms and outdoor applications.
With 5,000 watts of rated output and up to 5,500 watts of maximum output, the P5500 provides the capacity needed for a wide range of larger appliances, tools and equipment. Its 389cc engine, electric and recoil starting system and 6.6-gallon fuel tank make it a practical choice when portable power needs go beyond the capabilities of a smaller generator.
WHY BUY THE P5500?
The P5500 is designed for users who need substantial portable power without moving into a larger commercial generator. Its 5,000-watt continuous output provides plenty of capacity for demanding equipment, while the 5,500-watt maximum output accommodates temporary starting loads.
Its combination of electric start, rough-terrain wheels, single-point lifting and weather-protected outlets also makes the P5500 practical to transport and position where power is needed.

The P5500 uses a 389cc, air-cooled 4-stroke engine to produce 5,000 watts of rated AC output and 5,500 watts of maximum AC output.
The electric starter provides convenient starting, while a recoil backup gives the operator an additional starting option.
