Standby - Output available with varying load for the
duration of the interruption of the normal source power.
Average power output is 70% of the standby power
rating. Typical operation is 200 hours per year, with
maximum expected usage of 500 hours per year.
Standby power in accordance with ISO8528. Fuel stop
power in accordance with ISO3046. Standby ambients
shown indicate ambient temperature at 100% load which
results in a coolant top tank temperature just below the
shutdown temperature.
Ratings are based on SAE J1349 standard conditions.
These ratings also apply at ISO3046 standard conditions.
Fuel rates are based on fuel oil of 35º API [16º C (60º F)]
gravity having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg (18,390 Btu/lb)
when used at 29º C (85º F) and weighing 838.9 g/liter
(7.001 lbs/U.S. gal.). Additional ratings may be available
for specific customer requirements, contact your Cat
representative for details. For information regarding Low
Sulfur fuel and Biodiesel capability, please consult your
Cat dealer.
