Rating definitions - Standby: Applicable for supplying emergency power for the duration of the utility power outage. No overload capability is available for this rating. (All ratings in accordance with BS5514,

ISO3046 and DIN6271). Prime (Unlimited Running Time): Unit not recommended for prime power applications. Applicable for supplying electric power in lieu of commercially purchased power. Prime power is the maximum power available at variable load. A 10% overload capacity is available for 1 hour in 12 hours. (All ratings in accordance with BS5514, ISO3046, ISO8528 and DIN6271).* Maximum wattage and current are subject to and limited by such factors as fuel Btu content, ambient temperature, altitude, engine power and condition, etc. Maximum power decreases about 3.5 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level; and also will decrease about 1 percent for each 12° C (10° F) above 15.5° C (60°F).
