*Continuous Power Rating: The highest electrical power output of the Enginator available for
an unlimited number of hours per year, less maintenance. It is permissible to operate the
Enginator with up to 10% overload for two hours in each 24 hour period.
Standby Power Rating: This rating applies to those systems used as a secondary source
of electrical power. This rating is the electrical power output of the Enginator (no
overload) 24 hours a day, for the duration of the primary power source outage.
Rating Standard: The Waukesha Enginator power rating descriptions are in
accordance to ISO 8528, DIN6271 and BS5514. It is also valid for ISO 3046/1-1986
