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 100kPa, 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.
