    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines terms and specifies design criteria arising out of the combination of a reciprocating internal combustion (RIC) engine and an alternating current (a.c.) generator when operating as a unit. Applies to a.c. generating sets driven by RIC engines for land and marine use, excluding generating sets used on aircraft or to propel locomotives and land vehicles. Coverage includes: stop time characteristics; factors affecting generating set performance; sustained short circuit current. Also gives detailed tables and diagrams.
