4000 Series 4012-46TAG2A Diesel Engine – ElectropaK

1395 kWm 1500 rpm

1399 kWm 1800 rpm

The Perkins 4000 Series family of 6, 8, 12 and 16 cylinder diesel engines was designed
in advance of today’s uncompromising demands within the power generation industry
and includes superior performance and reliability.

The 4012-46TAG2A ElectropaK is a newly developed turbocharged, air-to-air charge

cooled, 12 cylinder diesel engine. Offered with either Temperate or Tropical cooling
packages (with or without fuel oil cooling). Their premium design and specification
features provide economic and durable operation as well as exceptional power to
weight ratio, improved serviceability, low gaseous emissions, overall performance and
reliability essential to the power generation market.

Economic power

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.
Rating conditions: 25°C air inlet temperature, barometric pressure 100 kPa, relative humidity 30%. Please consult your distributor or the factory for ratings in other 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: BS2869: Class A2.
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 up to a maximum of 500 hours per year. No overload is permitted.
