What is The Main Rated Power of Diesel Generator?

What is the main rated power of the generator?

ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operations

Category: Emergency Backup Power (ESP), Primary Power (PRP), Limited Time Operating Primary and Continuous Power (COP). In each category, the rated value of the generator set is determined by the maximum allowable power output related to operating time and load conditions.

Incorrect use of these ratings can lead to shortened generator life, invalid warranty, and in some cases, terminal failures.

How many hours can a generator with rated power operate?

So what is qualitative change force? According to ISO-8528-1, PRP rated generator sets must provide unlimited hours of electricity per year, with reference to agreed operating conditions, and the key is to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance intervals.

Normally, a 10% overload is allowed to last for 1 hour within 12 hours, but this is not reflected in ISO standards, so you should consult your manufacturer. This is usually used for regulating purposes and small unexpected loads.

What is the main rated power load factor?

ISO-8528-1 stipulates that the 24-hour average load factor is limited to 70% of the nameplate PRP rated value. This means that you spend 100% of every hour, and you should spend 40% of every hour to give you an average figure. The load should also be variable (i.e. it rises and falls). If this is not the case, consider continuous power (COP).

If you use the generator for less than 250 hours per year, a backup rated (ESP) device may be a better solution to reduce initial investment costs.

If you don't need unlimited power supply or have a fixed load mode? Think about other ISO8528-1 ratings.

What are the alternative ratings for the main rated power?

If the rated main power does not meet your requirements, you can consider purchasing an emergency backup power supply (ESP) for generators to operate with limited time or continuous power rating.
