Generator temperature rise is based on a 40 C (104 F) ambient per NEMA MG1-32.
3
Emissions data measurement procedures are consistent with those described in EPA CFR 40 Part 89, Subpart D & E and ISO8178-1 for
measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx. Data shown is based on steady state operating conditions of 77F, 28.42 in HG and number 2 diesel fuel
with 35 API and LHV of 18,390 btu/lb. The nominal emissions data shown is subject to instrumentation, measurement, facility and
engine to engine variations. Emissions data is based on 100% load and thus cannot be used to compare to EPA regulations which use
values based on a weighted cycle.

RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

Meets or Exceeds International Specifications: AS1359,
AS2789, CSA, EGSA101P, IEC60034,ISO3046,ISO8528,
NEMA MG 1-32,UL508, 72/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC, 98/37/EEC
Prime - Output available with varying load for an
unlimited time. Prime power in accordance with ISO8528.
10% overload power in accordance with ISO3046,
AS2789, and BS5514 available on request. Prime power
ambients shown indicate ambient at 100 percent load
which results in a coolant top tank temperature just
below the alarm temperature.

Ratings are based on SAE J1995 standard conditions.

These ratings also apply at ISO3046 standard conditions.
Fuel Rates are based on fuel oil of 35 API (16 C or 60 F)
gravity having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg (18,390 Btu/lb)
when used at 29 C (85 F) and weighing 838.9 g/liter
(7.001 lbs/U.S. gal.).
Additional Ratings may be available for specific
customer requirements. Consult your Caterpillar
representative for details.
