Site conditions    e.g. undercover on farm site

Duty – continuous or intermittent    e.g. continuous 2500 hrs per year

Other factors e.g. Side loads, vibration, electrics, maintenance and service plan, noise levels, shock loads, exhaust emissions etc.


Standard conditions:    20°c ambient temperature, 30% relative humidity at 100 meters altitude.


Gross intermittent rating:    1 hr rating based on the engine without cooling fan, air cleaner, muffler, but with

alternator idling.


Net intermittent rating:    1 hr rating based on the engine with standard cooling fan, air cleaner, muffler and

alternator, fitted to the engine


Net continuous rating:    Continuous output based on the engine with standard cooling fan, air cleaner,

Muffler and alternator fitted.


De-rating:    Refer to DPS. Allowance for changes to standard conditions being ambient temperature, relative humidity and altitude.

losses, flexible coupling losses, gearbox transmission losses etc.
