--------------------------------------------------------------------
1.DUTY
Duty (rating type) refers to the package generator set not the
generator. PP represents Prime, SB represents Standby.

2. EXCITATION TYPE
A) SE (Self Excited)
Voltage regulator and exciter are powered by voltage from generator
output terminals. Excitation relies on residual magnetism in generator
to start producing generator voltage to power exciter voltage.

B) AUX (Auxiliary Winding) or IE (Internally Excited)

Separate coils in stator to generate power for AVR and exciter.
Generators equipped with AUX or IE excitation systems will sustain
300% of rated armature current for 10 seconds for 60 Hz and 250%
of rated armature current for 10 seconds for 50 Hz.

C) PMG: Permanent Magnet Generator

Small, rotor mounted generator (permanently magnetized) provides power
for voltage regulator and exciter. Generators equipped with PMG
excitation systems will sustain 300% of rated armature current for 10
seconds for 60 Hz and 250% of rated armature current for 10 seconds f
or 50 Hz.

6 or 12 lead generator, single-phase output only.12 lead maybe
series connected or parallel connected. Provides line-to-line
voltage connection and line-to-neutral (50% of L-L)

D) DOUBLE DELTA

The generator thermal limits table indicates the various kVA ratings
at which the generator temperature rise meets the predefined IEC/NEMA
insulation limits for peak or base rated operation.

"peak" rating (PR) (kVA or ekW). "Base" (or prime) ratings imply that
the unit can run on a continual basis at the specified load point.
"Peak" (or stand-by) ratings, as defined by IEC, allow temperature
rises upto 25C above those for prime rated operation with a reduced
insulation life.

12. REACTIVE CAPABILITY CURVE

The reactive capability curve illustrates the acceptable region within
which the generator may operate while considering the thermal limits
of the rotor and stator windings. On this plot, the theoretical engine
limit is displayed to further define the practical range of operation
when considering the generator set package.

13. GENEARTOR EFFICIENCY CURVE

The efficiency curve is displayed for the generator only under the
given conditions of rating, voltage, frequency and power factor. This
is not the overall generator set efficiency curve. There is no
consideration of engine or parasitic losseS.

Generator efficiency is the percentage of engine flywheel (or other

prime mover) power that is converted into electrical output. The
generator efficiency shown is calculated by the summation of all
losses method, and is determined in accordance with the IEC Standard
60034.
