Rating definitions
Prime power
Variable load. Unlimited hours usage with an average load factor of 80% of the published Prime Power rating over each 24 hour period.
A 10% overload is available for 1 hour in every 12 hours operation
Standby power
Variable load. Limited to 500 hours annual usage up to 300 hours of which may be continuous running. No overload is permitted
Emissions capability
All 2506A ratings are optimised for ‘best fuel consumption’ and do not comply to Harmonised International Regulated Emission Limits.
More information on these statements can be obtained by contacting the applications department at Perkins Engines Company Limited.
