The above ratings represent the engine performance capabilities guaranteed within plus or minus 3% at the reference conditions equivalent to those specified in ISO 8528/1, ISO 3046/1, BS 5514/1.
Ratings conditions: 25ºC air inlet temperature, barometer pressure 100 kPa, relative humidity 30%. Please consult your distributor or the factory for ratings in ambient conditions.
Note: For full ratings please refer to Perkins Engines Company Limited. All electrical ratings are based on an average alternator efficiency and a power factor of 0.8.
Fuel specification: BS 2869 Class A1 + A2 or ASTM D975 No 2D.
Rating Definitions
Baseload Power: Power available for continuous full load operation. No overload is permitted. Prime Power: Power available for variable load with an average load factor not exceeding 80% of
the prime power rating in any 24 hour period. Overload of 10% permitted for 1 hour in every 12 hours operation. Standby (maximum): Power available at variable load in the event of a main power
network failure for a maximum of 500 hours per year. No overload is permitted.
