GPW
Series
3 POWER DEFINITIONS AND NORMATIVE
3.1 GENSET POWER DEFINITIONS
In order to align our market proposal to our main competitors, GPW series will be declared with the following
Power definitions according to ISO 8528:
ESP - Emergency Standby Power:
It is the maximum power available during a variable electrical power sequence, under the stated operating
conditions, for which a generating set is capable of delivering in the event of a utility power outage or under test
conditions for up to 200 h of operation per year with the maintenance intervals and procedures being carried out
as prescribed by the manufacturers. The permissible average power output over 24 h of operation shall not
exceed 70 % of the ESP.
Alternator Power ref.: Temperature Rise 163°C, Ambient Temperature 27°C
PRP - Prime Power:
It is defined as being the maximum power which a generating set is capable of delivering continuously whilst
supplying a variable electrical load when operated for an unlimited number of hours per year under the agreed
operating conditions with the maintenance intervals and procedures being carried out as prescribed by the
manufacturer. The permissible average power output over 24 h of operation shall not exceed 70 % of the prime
power.
Alternator Power ref.: Temperature Rise 125°C, Ambient Temperature 40°C, Class H temperature Rise.
