Rating definitions
Baseload power
Unlimited hours usage with an average load factor of 100% of the published Baseload power rating. No overload is permitted on Baseload power.
Prime power
Unlimited hours usage with an average load factor of 80% of the published Prime Power over each 24 hour period. A 10% overload is available for
1 hour in every 12 hours operation.
Standby power
Limited to 500 hours annual usage with an average load factor of 80% of the published Standby Power rating over each 24 hour period. Up to 300
hours of annual usage may be run continuously. No overload is permitted on Standby Power.
Emissions capability
All 4006-23TAG2A ratings are optimised for the best fuel consumption and do not comply to Harmonised International Regulation Emission Limits.
