After running on the test bed, the fuel delivery system is to be so adjusted that overload power cannot
be given in service, unless intermittent overload power is approved by IRS. In that case, the fuel delivery
system is to be blocked to that power.

After running on the test bed, the fuel delivery system is to be adjusted so that full power plus a 10%
margin for transient regulation can be given in service after installation onboard.
The transient overload capability is required so that the required transient governing characteristics are
achieved also at 100% loading of the engine, and also so that the protection system utilised in the electric
distribution system can be activated before the engine stalls.

After running on the test bed, the fuel delivery system is to be adjusted so that full power plus a margin
for transient regulation can be given in service after installation onboard. The transient overload
capability is required so that the electrical protection of downstream system components is activated
before the engine stalls. This margin may be 10% of the engine power but at least 10% of the PTO
power.

After running on the test bed, the fuel delivery system is normally to be so adjusted that overload power
cannot be delivered in service, unless intermittent overload power is approved. In that case, the fuel
delivery system is to be blocked to that power.

requirements in the case of a barred speed range.

Each engine is to be tested 100% electrical power for at least 60 min and 110% of rated electrical
power of the generator for at least 10 min. This may, if possible, be done during the electrical
propulsion plant test, which is required to be tested with 100% propulsion power (i.e. total electric
motor capacity for propulsion) by distributing the power on as few generators as possible. The
duration of this test is to be sufficient to reach stable operating temperatures of all rotating machines
or for at least 4 hours. When some of the gen. set(s) cannot be tested due to insufficient time during
the propulsion system test mentioned above, those required tests are to be carried out separately.
