Rating definitions
Baseload power
Unlimited hours usage with an average load factor of 100% of the published Baseload power. 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 hours 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 4012-46TAG1A/2A ratings are optimised to the best fuel consumption and do not comply to Harmonised International Regulation Emission
Limits. More information on these statements can be obtained by contacting the Applications Department at Perkins Engines Company Limited.

Note:
Battery capacity is defined by the 20 hour rate at 0C.

The oil specification should be for the minimum ambient
temperature as the oil will not be warmed by the immersion
heater.
Breakaway current is dependant on battery capacity available.
Cables should be capable of handling transient current which
may be up to double the steady cranking current.
