3000rpm Diesel Generators
- Check oil level daily.
- Ensure the battery is fully charged.
- Oil change service intervals: after the first 20 hours, then every 100 hours or 12 months whichever is sooner.
Light Duty
Light duty rating is applicable for supplying power in portable and/ or intermittent applications. The average load should not be lower than 30% or higher than 80% of the rated output of the generator. Continuous use should not exceed 5 hours and annual operation should not exceed 500 hours to be within the sanctioned parameters. Emergency Duty Emergency duty rating is applicable for supplying power for the duration of a utility power outage. No overload capability is available. The average load should not be lower than 30% or higher than 80% of the rated output of the generator. The annual operation should not exceed 500 hours to be within the sanctioned parameters.
1500rpm Diesel Generators
- Check oil and coolant levels daily.
- Ensure the battery is fully charged.
- Oil change service intervals 250 hours or 12 months whichever is sooner.
Prime Power
Continuous daily use. The average load should be between 30% and 80% of the rated output of the generator.
Maximum power = rated power, plus 10% for a maximum 10% duty cycle. A total lifespan in excess of 10,000 hours can be achieved with correct maintenance and use.
Emergency Duty
Emergency duty rating is applicable for supplying power for the duration of a utility power outage. Maximum power = rated power, plus 10% for a maximum 10% duty cycle.
The average load should not be lower than 30% or higher than 80% of the rated output of the generator. The annual operation should not exceed 1000 hours to be within the sanctioned parameters.
