Subject: Power Rating Application Guidelines for G-Drive Engines Author: Date: April 20, 1992 Engine Models included: All G-Drive Fuel Systems included: All Used on G-Drive Engines (Supersedes AEB 26.02 dated June 21, 1990) Page 1 of 7 AEB Number 26.02 This AEB is for the following applications: Automotive Industrial Power Generation

These guidelines have been formulated to ensure proper application of G-Drive engines in A.C. generator set installations. G-Drive engines are not designed for and shall not be used in variable speed D.C. generator set installations. STANDBY POWER RATING is applicable for supplying emergency power for the duration of the utility power outage. No overload capability is available for this rating. Under no condition is an engine allowed to operate in parallel with the public utility at the Standby Power rating. This rating should be applied where reliable utility power is available. A Standby rated engine should be sized for a maximum of an 80% average load factor and 200 hours of operation per year. This includes less than 25 hours per year at the Standby Power rating. Standby ratings should never be applied except in true emergency power outages. Negotiated power outages contracted with a utility company are not considered an emergency. PRIME POWER RATING is applicable for supplying electric power in lieu of commercially purchased power. Prime Power applications must be in the form of one of the following two categories: UNLIMITED TIME RUNNING PRIME POWER Prime Power is available for an unlimited number of hours per year in a variable load application. Variable load should not exceed a 70% average of the Prime Power rating during any operating period of 250 hours. The total operating time at 100% Prime Power shall not exceed 500 hours per year. A 10% overload capability is available for a period of 1 hour within a 12-hour period of operation. Total operating time at the 10% overload power shall not exceed 25 hours per year. LIMITED TIME RUNNING PRIME POWER Prime Power is available for a limited number of hours in a non-variable load application. It is intended for use in situations where power outages are contracted, such as in utility power curtailment. Engines may be operated in parallel to the public utility up to 750 hours per year at power levels never to exceed the Prime Power rating. The customer should be aware, however, that the life of any engine will be reduced by this constant high load operation. Any operation exceeding 750 hours per year at the Prime Power rating should use the Continuous Power rating.

AEB 26.02 Page 2 of 7 Typical applications of a Prime Power generator set are as follows provided the specified average load factor and maximum power limited are not exceeded: - standby power installations in areas of frequent power outages - marine auxiliary generator sets - railroad hotel power (head end power) - rental equipment - peak shaving - interruptible power (utility power curtailment) - limited time running power - EJP power application (France) Note: In determining average power output, loadings of less than 30% are considered as 30% and the time at standstill is not counted. CONTINUOUS POWER RATING or BASE POWER RATING is applicable for supplying utility power at a constant 100% load for an unlimited number of hours per year. No overload capability is available for this rating. Typical applications of a Continuous Power generator set are: - interruptible power where the Prime Power limits are exceeded - peak shaving where the Prime Power limits are exceeded - electric marine propulsion - co-generation

AEB 26.02 Page 3 of 7 DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED: Frequent Power Outages Areas where reliable utility power is not available may experience power outages that commonly last more than one day per week and exceed 100 hours per year. A Prime Power rating should be used in these cases. Peak Shaving or Interruptible Power (Utility Power Curtailment) A generator set may be used in various modes of operation to supplement utility power. Operation of these generator sets will typically be in the form of one of the following two modes: - A generator set supplies the variable power above a constant power level provided by the utility. - A generator set supplies a continuous constant base power for a limited time while the utility provides the power for the remaining load. Applications of this type fall into one of three categories: - Limited Time Running Power - Prime Power Rating - Continuous Power Rating or Base Power Rating

Comments: Customer expectations relative to engine life and performance should be considered when applying a G-Drive engine. There may be unique applications where variations to the Power Rating Application Guidelines may be permitted. Contact Cummins Engine Company for assistance.
