Economic power
Individual 4 valve cylinder heads give optimised gas flows, while unit fuel injectors
ensure ultra fine fuel atomisation and hence controlled rapid combustion for efficiency
and economy.
Commonality of components with other engines in 4000 Series family allows reduced
parts stocking levels.

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 100 kPa, 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.
