1 Rated electrical power and electrical efficiencies are given at generator terminals
at 100kPa ambient pressure, 25°C suction air temperature and 30% relative humidity,
and without engine driven pumps. Power factor 1.0 (site). Electrical efficiency with 5%
tolerance. Site conditions, fuel and applicable emission limits may have an impact on
performance figures. Please contact Wärtsilä for project-specific performance data.
2 There are a number of dismantling options available for transporting the generator
set. These include different options for reduced weight and height. Please contact
Wärtsilä for further information.
