RATINGS: All three-phase units are rated at 0.8 power factor. All single-phase units are rated at 1.0 power factor. Standby Ratings: Standby ratings apply to installations served by a reliable utility source.
The standby rating is applicable to varying loads for the duration of a power outage. There is no overload capability for this rating. Ratings are in accordance with ISO-8528-1 and ISO-3046-1. For limited
running time and continuous ratings, consult the factory. Obtain the technical information bulletin (TIB-101) on ratings guidelines for the complete ratings definitions. The generator set manufacturer reserves
the right to change the design or specifications without notice and without any obligation or liability whatsoever. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR DERATING: Altitude: Derate 1.3% per 100 m (328 ft.) elevation
above 200 m (656 ft.) up to a maximum elevation of 3000 m (9842 ft.). Temperature: Derate 2.0% per 10_C (18_F) temperature above 25_C (77_F) up to 50_C (122_F). For units having enclosures
with enclosed silencers, add 5_C (9_F) to the ambient temperature. For dual fuel engines, use the LPG ratings for both the primary and secondary fuels.
