Rating definitions
Baseload power
Unlimited hours usage with an average load factor of 100% of the published baseload power rating.
Prime Power
Variable load. Unlimited hours usage with an average load factor of 80% of the published prime power rating over each 24 hr. period A
10% overload is available for 1 hour in every 12 hour of operation.
Standby power
Variable load. Limited to 500 hours annual usage up to 300 hours of which may be continuous running. No overload is permitted.

Emissions capability
All 4012-46TWG ratings are optimised to the ‘best fuel consumption’ and do not comply to Harmonised International Regulation Emission
Limits. More information on these statements can be obtained by contacting the Applications Department at Perkins Engines Company
Limited.

Cooling system
Recommended coolant: 50% inhibited ethylene glycol or 50%
inhibited propylene glycol and 50% clean fresh water. For CHP
systems and where there is no likelihood of ambient temperature
below 10 °C, then clean ‘soft’ water may be used, treated with 1%
by volume of Perkins inhibitor in the cooling system. The inhibitor is
available in 1 litre bottles from all Perkins Distributors.

Notes:
z The battery capacity is defined by the 20 hour rate
z The oil specification should be for the minimum ambient
temperature as the oil will not be warmed by the immersion
heater
z Breakaway current is dependant on battery capacity available.
Cables should be capable of handling the transient current
which may be up to double the steady cranking current.
Noise levels
The figures for total noise levels are typical for an engine running at the standby power rating in a semi-reverberant environment and
measured at a distance of one metre from the periphery of the engine (sound pressure level re: -20 x 10-6 Pa).
