Codes and standards

Codes or standards compliance may not be available with all model configurations - consult factory for
availability.

CSA Group tests products under a

formal process to ensure that they meet
the safety and/or performance
requirements of applicable standards.
This GenSet is certified to: CSA 22.2 No.
100 Motors and Generators; CSA 22.2
No. 0.4-044 Bonding of Electrical
Equipment; CSA 22.2 No. 14 Industrial
Control Equipment; and CSA 22.2 No. 0
General Requirements - Canadian
Electrical Code, Part II. (See Fuel
Installation Requirements on this page.)

This product has been manufactured under the controls established by

a Bureau Veritas Certification approved management system that
conforms to ISO 9001:2015.

Fuel installation requirements

Gas supply pressure is specified at the inlet to the fuel shut-off solenoid (FSO). If this engine is equipped with two FSOs in series, this
value should be measured at the inlet to the downstream FSO. Each FSO can reduce the supply pressure up to 5" W.C. at full load.
Additional options added to the fuel train such as those for CSA or UL compliance, strainers and/or flex connections can add
restriction that must be considered in the site installation.

Ratings definitions
Emergency Standby Power (ESP):
Applicable for supplying power to varying electrical load
for the duration of power interruption of a reliable utility
source. Emergency Standby Power (ESP) is in
accordance with ISO 8528. Fuel Stop power is in
accordance with ISO 3046, AS 2789, DIN 6271, and BS
5514.

Prime Power (PRP):

Applicable for supplying power to varying electrical load
for unlimited hours. Prime Power (PRP) is in accordance
with ISO 8528. Ten percent overload capability is
available in accordance with ISO 3046, AS 2789, DIN
6271, and BS 5514.

Base Load (Continuous) Power (COP):

Applicable for supplying power continuously to a
constant electrical load for unlimited hours. Continuous
Power (COP) is in accordance with ISO 8528, ISO 3046,
AS 2789, DIN 6271, and BS 5514.

Demand Response Power Rating - Spark Ignited Gas

(DRP):
Applicable for supplying electrical power in parallel with
commercially available power in variable and
non-variable load applications. This fuel rating is
intended for use in situations where power outages are
contracted, such as in utility power curtailment. Engine
operation is limited to a total of 500 hours per year.
Engines may be operated in parallel to the public utility
for up to 500 hours per year, with an average load factor
no greater than 80% of rated Demand Response Power.
Engines with Standby Power ratings available can be run
in Emergency Standby applications up to the Standby
Power rating for up to 50 hours per year. The customer
should be aware, however, that the life of any engine will
be reduced by constant high load operation.

Warning: Backfeed to a utility system can cause electrocution and/or property damage. Do not connect
GenSets to any building electrical system except through an approved device or after the building main
disconnect is open. Neutral connection must be bonded in accordance with National Electrical Code.

Specifications are subject to change without notice.
