RATING DEFINITIONS
Standby — Applicable for supplying continuous Prime — Applicable for supplying continuous electrical
electrical power (at variable load) in the event of power (at variable load) in lieu of commercially
a utility power failure. No overload is permitted on purchased power. There is no limitation to the annual
these ratings. The generator on the generator set hours of operation and the generator set can supply
is peak prime rated (as defined in ISO8528-3) at 86° F. 10% overload power for 1 hour in 12 hours.
