ET500

This was a compact, lightweight, quiet-running 500W class generator developed with a wide range of uses in mind, from leisure use to light commercial applications. From this model onwards, Yamaha Motor did away with the brush-type alternator that would wear down over time, and developed and manufactured its own brushless excitation-type alternator.
