Engine Series
Waukesha manufactures four engine families the ATGL, VHP, VGF, and VSG.

Prefix Designations
The prefix attached to an engine model indicates the number of cylinders (except ATGL
which states actual number): P = 16, L = 12, H = 8, F = 6.
VHP L7042GL engine is a 12 cylinder engine
VGF P48 GL is a 16 cylinder engine
16V-AT27GL is a 16 cylinder engine

The numeric designation in each engine model name indicates the displacement of the
engine model in either English units of cubic inches or metric units of liters.
The VHP series show a displacement in cubic inches. For example: the VHP L7042GL
indicates a displacement of 7,040 in3.
The VGF and VSG series show a displacement in liters. For example: the VGF P48GL
indicates a displacement of 48 liters.

Generator Standby Power Rating (kWe): This rating applies to those systems used as a secondary source of electrical power. This rating is the output the system will produce continuously (no overload), 24 hours per
day for the duration of the prime power source outage.
*Peak Shave: These ratings are based on 3400 hours per year at ISO Standard reference conditions. Peak shaving and standby ratings may reduce lifecycle intervals.

NOTE: Low Btu (calorific value) fueled engines operate on fuel with 400 Btu/ft3 (15.7 MJ//m3), saturated low heat (net calorific value), and are equipped with special low Btu (calorific value) fuel system.
NOTE: VGF GLD - Gas lean combustion with draw-thru carburetion. Minimum regulated gas supply pressure is 8" H2O (12.44 mbar)
NOTE: VSG G - Ratings based on 600 Btu/ft3 (23.58 MJ/m3), saturated low heat (net calorific value).
NOTE: For complete information regarding operation on Low Btu Fuel, see the S3955 series (latest version) Technical Data Sheets. See Price Book for proper hardware requirements.
NOTE: For low Btu Intermittent Duty application ratings, consult the Waukesha Engine Sales Engineering Department.
NOTE: Generator efficiencies are typical values. Please consult with your packager.
*kWe ratings are based on Waukesha Power Systems generator efficiencies.

Rating Standard: All models: Ratings conform to ISO 3046/1 (latest version) with a mechanical efficiency of 90% and auxiliary water temperature, Tcra, as specified in the Power Rating Chart, Bulletin 1079 (latest version)
limited to 10 F (5.5 C). Ratings are also valid for SAE J1349, BS 5514, DIN 6271 and API 7B-11C standard atmospheric reference conditions.
Fuel Standard: All natural gas engine ratings are based on 900 BTU/ft3 (35.38 MJ/m3 [25, V(0; 101.325)]) SLHV, 91 WKI minimum, commercial quality natural gas. Refer to S-7884-7 (latest version) for full gaseous fuel specifications.
ISO Standard Power (Continuous Power Rating): The highest load and speed that can be applied 24 hours per day, seven days per week, 365 days per year except for normal maintenance at ISO standard ambient reference conditions. At ISO standard ambient reference conditions, it is permissible to operate the engine at up to 110% of the ISO Standard Power or the maximum power indicated by the intermittent rating, whichever is lower,
for two hours in every 24 hour period.
ISO Service Power (Site Continuous Power Rating): The highest load and speed that can be applied 24 hours per day, seven days per week, 365 days per year except for normal maintenance at the operating and ambient
conditions of the site application. Unless otherwise stated, it is permissible to operate the engine at up to 110% of the ISO Service Power (see the Overload Power definition) or the intermittent power rating available at the site
operating and ambient conditions, whichever is lower, for two hours in every 24 hour period.
Overload Power: The power that an engine is permitted to supply, with a duration and frequency of use depending upon the service application, at stated ambient conditions, immediately after operating at its ISO Service
Power rating. Unless otherwise stated, it is permissible to operate the engine at up to 110% of the ISO Service Power or the intermittent power rating available at the site operating and ambient conditions, whichever is lower,
for two hours in every 24 hour period. For situations without a defined intermittent power, the allowable 10% overload power is reduced from ISO standard ambient reference conditions by the applicable rating adjustments listed in the Intermittent/Standby Power column.
Intermittent Power Rating: The highest load and speed that can be applied in variable speed mechanical system applications only. Operation at this rating is limited to a maximum of 3500 hours per year.
Generator Continuous Power Rating (kWe): The highest load and speed which can be applied 24 hours per day, seven days per week, 365 days per year except for normal maintenance. Unless otherwise stated, it is permissible to operate the engine at up to 110% of the generator continuous power rating for two hours in every 24 hour period.
Generator Standby Power Rating (kWe): This rating applies to those systems used as a secondary source of electrical power. This rating is the output the system will produce continuously 24 hours per day for the duration
of the prime power source outage. No overload is allowed. This rating may reduce the lifecycle intervals.
Generator Peak Shaving Application Rating (kWe) For VHP Models Only: This rating is based on the number of horsepower-hours available per year in a constant speed application at site conditions. This rating allows for
limited engine operation above the published ISO Standard Power rating for VHP models only. This rating class requires a Special Application Approval. Contact Waukesha's Sales Engineering Department. This rating may
reduce the lifecycle intervals.
1 These altitude and temperature adjustments are meant to be a guide only and cannot be applied without limit. Contact Waukeshas Sales Engineering Department for additional information.
2 For 16V-AT27GL speeds other than 900 and 1000 rpm, contact Waukeshas Sales Engineering Department.
3 The F3524GSI, L5794GSI, and L7044GSI models are limited to 180F maximum jacket water temperature.
4 The L5774LT is rated for 130F intercooler water temperature only.
5 Unless otherwise specified, overload power is available for two hours in every 24 hour period at a level specified in the Definitions section or on a Special Application Approval.
6 For complete information regarding operation on propane and other fuels, including proper ignition timing, see the most current, model specific S-07079 series Technical Data Sheets.
