    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines various classifications for the applications, ratings and performance which arise out of the combination of generating sets (consisting of alternating current (a.c.) generator, a reciprocating internal combustion (RIC) engine, switchgear and auxiliary equipment). Applies to a.c. generating sets driven by RIC engines for marine and land use, excluding generating sets used on aircraft to propel locomotives and land vehicles. Coverage includes: power adjustment for ambient conditions; power rating definitions; symbols and abbreviations. Also includes detailed diagrams.
