Generator powers are typical and are based on an average alternator efficiency and a power factor (cos. θ) of 0.8. Fuel specification: BS 2869: Part 2 1998 Class A2 or ASTM D975 D2.
Lubricating oil: 15W40 to API CG4.
Rating Definitions
Baseload Power: Power available for continuous full load operation. No overload is permitted on baseload power. Prime Power: Power available at variable load with a load factor not exceeding
80% of the prime power rating. Overload of 10% is permitted for 1 hour in every 12 hours operation. Standby Power: Power available in the event of a main power network failure up to a maximum
of 500 hours per year of which up to 300 hours may be run continuously. Load factor may be up to 100% of standby power. No overload is permitted.
