exhaust system inspection, test the
carbon monoxide detector per the
manufacturer’s instructions and keep
the detector operational at all times.
Operating the generator set. Carbon
monoxide can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death. Carbon monoxide
is an odorless, colorless, tasteless,
nonirritating gas that can cause death if
inhaled for even a short time. Use the
following precautions when installing
and operating the generator set. Do not
install the exhaust outlet where exhaust
can be drawn in through portholes,
vents, or air conditioners. If the
generator set exhaust discharge outlet
is near the waterline, water could enter
the exhaust discharge outlet and close
or restrict the flow of exhaust. Never
operate the generator set without a
functioning carbon monoxide detector.
Be especially careful if operating the
generator set when moored or
anchored under calm conditions
because gases may accumulate. If
operating the generator set dockside,
moor the craft so that the exhaust
discharges on the lee side (the side
sheltered from the wind). Always be
aware of others, making sure your
exhaust is directed away from other
boats and buildings. Avoid overloading
the craft.
Fuel System
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.

Notes

TP-6069 6/03 3Section 2 Location and Mounting
Section 2 Location and Mounting
2.1 General Considerations
The key to installation is location. Before making final
plans for locating a generator set, consider the
following.
Installation Location Considerations
1. Choose a location that allows adequate space for
cooling and exhaust system installation, fuel
system installation, ventilation, and service access
to the generator set (engine and generator).
2. Use craft stringers or other available structural
members capable of supporting the generator set’s
weight.
3. Seal the generator set compartment from the cabin
to prevent exhaust gases and fuel vapors from
entering the cabin.
See the current generator set specification sheet or
Section 7 of this manual for generator set dimensions
and weights. See Figure 1-1 for a typical installation.
m:is:101:001
2.2 Location
Locate the generator set to allow easy service access to
the generator set’s engine, controller, cooling, and fuel
system components. The engine compartment is often
the ideal location for the generator set if the propulsion
engine(s) does not obstruct access to the generator set
and controller.
Marine Generator Set Installations in
European Union Member Countries
This generator set is specifically intended and approved
for installation below the deck in the engine
compartment. Installation above the deck and/or
outdoors would constitute a violation of European Union
Directive 2000/14/EC noise emission standard.
Allow clearance for vibration and cooling during
operation. Allow a minimum of 38 mm (1.5 in.)
clearance on all sides (top, front, rear, and sides) of a
generator set without an optional sound shield. Refer to
the instruction sheet for minimum clearances for
sound-shielded units. Also, allow space for the power
takeoff (PTO) option, if equipped.
Diesel generator sets are not ignition-protected. USCG
Regulation 183.410 requires ignition-protected devices
only in gasoline/gaseous-fueled environments.
2.3 Mounting
Mount the generator set as high as possible to avoid
contact with bilge splash and lower-lying vapors and to
allow for downward pitch of the exhaust line toward the
exhaust outlet.
Craft stringers generally provide the best generator set
support. Ensure that the structural members can
support the generator set’s weight and withstand its
vibration.
The generator set includes vibration mounts and a
mounting tray or skid. If desired, install additional
vibration isolating pads underneath the generator set’s
base.
Use the four mounting holes in the mounting tray to
mount the generator set securely to the craft.
For angular operating limits, consult the operation
manual.
TP-6069 6/034 Section 2 Location and Mounting
Notes

TP-6069 6/03 5Section 3 Cooling System
Section 3 Cooling System
3.1 Ventilation
Engine combustion, generator cooling, and expulsion of
flammable and lethal fumes require ventilation. Provide
ventilation compliant with USCG Regulations governing
sizing of vents and other considerations.
As a rule, size each inlet- and outlet-vent area to a
minimum of 13 sq. cm/30.5 cm (2 sq. in. per ft.) of the
craft’s beam. Should this rule conflict with USCG
Regulations, follow USCG Regulations. For applications
with screened inlets, double the size (4 sq. in. per ft.) of
the hull/deck openings. Extend the vent ducts to bilges to
expel heavier-than-air fumes.
For generator sets mounted in the engine compartment,
increase the air flow to allow for the generator set’s
requirements. Install optional detection devices to
cause alarm, warning, or engine shutdown should
dangerous fumes accumulate in the compartment.
See the generator set specification sheet that shipped
with the generator set for air requirements. The air intake
silencer/cleaner provides combustion air to the engine.
Do not compromise the recommended minimum
clearance of 38 mm (1.5 in.) between a duct opening and
enclosure wall. The engine/generator performance will
decline if you compromise these guidelines. See
Figure 3-1 for allowable intake restriction.

3.2 Cooling System Components
The marine generator set’s cooling system requires the
following components.
3.2.1 Intake Through-Hull Strainer
(Seacock Cover)
Install a screened-intake, through-hull strainer to
prevent entry of foreign objects. Use perforated,
slotted-hole, or unrestricted-hole design strainers. See
Figure 3-2 for examples of typical strainers. The inner
diameter of the strainer opening must be equal to or
greater than the inner diameter of the water-line hose to
the seawater pump.

Do not align the strainer (in relation to the craft’s direction
of travel) with any other through-hull intakes. See
Figure 3-3. Flush mount the recommended through-hull
strainer. Install slotted-hole-design strainers with the
slots parallel to the direction of the vessel’s movement.
Note: Position the intakes in relation to the vessel’s
travel so neither is in the wake of the other.

Figure 3-3 Intake Strainer

TP-6069 6/036 Section 3 Cooling System
Do not use a speed scoop or cup design intake
through-hull strainer because it can cause a ramming
effect and force water upward, past the seawater pump,
and into the engine cylinders when the vessel is moving
and the generator set is shut down.
Do not use hulls incorporating sea chests or other
designs that provide a positive pressure to the raw water
pump for the intake through-hull strainers. Positive
pressure forces water past the raw water pump and into
the engine. A sea chest is a concave molded-in-the-hull
chamber that aligns to the vessel’s direction of travel. A
sea chest configuration applies positive pressure similar
to a scoop-type through-hull strainer.
3.2.2 Seacock
Mount the seacock to the hull, assemble it to the intake,
and ensure that it is accessible for operation. Figure 3-2
shows a typical installation.
Avoid overcaulking the seacock. Excess caulk reduces
water flow and, in some cases, develops a barrier that
can force water upward, past the seawater pump, and
into the engine cylinders when the vessel is moving and
the generator set is shut down.
3.2.3 Seawater Strainer
Mount the seawater strainer to the seacock or
permanent structure at a point not higher than the
seawater pump. Ensure that the strainer is accessible
for service. See Figure 3-4 for a typical installation.
Some seawater strainers include a seacock and an
intake through-hull strainer.
Maximum seawater inlet pressure at the seawater pump
is 34.5 kPa (5 psi). Excessive pressure will cause water
ingestion.

3.2.4 Water Lines
Water lines from the seacock to the engine-driven
seawater pump are usually constructed of flexible hose.
Connect a flexible section of hose to the seawater pump
to allow the generator set to vibrate during operation.
Support a nonflexible water line within 102 mm (4 in.) of
its connection to the flexible section.
Keep the seawater hose as straight and short as
possible. If the hose is too long, usually over 4.6 m
(15 ft.), water draw problems may occur. See Section 7
for the inlet water line hose size and the seawater
connection to the seawater pump inlet. Avoid running
the inlet pipe above the generator. See Figure 3-5 for
the seawater hose connection to the seawater pump
inlet.

A closed heat exchanger is the best cooling method for
most applications. See Figure 3-6 or Figure 3-7 for a
typical installation. Provide space to access the
water-cooled exhaust manifold pressure cap.
3.2.6 Direct Water Cooled
(3.5EFOZ/4EOZ Models)
In a direct seawater cooling system, the impeller pump
circulates the seawater around the cylinder and through
the cylinder head. A thermostat controls the cooling water
circuit temperature. Consult Figure 3-8 and the engine
operation manual for the cooling water circuit diagrams.

Section 4 Exhaust System
Carbon monoxide.
Can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or death.
The exhaust system must be leakproof
and routinely inspected.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide symptoms. Carbon monoxide can
cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. Carbon monoxide
is a poisonous gas present in exhaust gases. Carbon
monoxide poisoning symptoms include but are not limited to
the following:
DLight-headedness, dizziness
DPhysical fatigue, weakness in
joints and muscles
DSleepiness, mental fatigue,
inability to concentrate
or speak clearly, blurred vision
DStomachache, vomiting, nausea
If experiencing any of these symptoms and carbon monoxide
poisoning is possible, seek fresh air immediately and remain
active. Do not sit, lie down, or fall asleep. Alert others to the
possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning. Seek medical
attention if the condition of affected persons does not improve
within minutes of breathing fresh air.
Inspecting the exhaust system. Carbon monoxide can
cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. For the safety of
the craft’s occupants, install a carbon monoxide detector.
Consult the boat builder or dealer for approved detector
location and installation. Inspect the detector before each
generator set use. In addition to routine exhaust system
inspection, test the carbon monoxide detector per the
manufacturer’s instructions and keep the detector operational
at all times.
Operating the generator set. Carbon monoxide can cause
severe nausea, fainting, or death. Carbon monoxide is an
odorless, colorless, tasteless, nonirritating gas that can cause
death if inhaled for even a short time. Use the following
precautions when installing and operating the generator set.
Do not install the exhaust outlet where exhaust can be drawn
in through portholes, vents, or air conditioners. If the generator
set exhaust discharge outlet is near the waterline, water could
enter the exhaust discharge outlet and close or restrict the flow
of exhaust. Never operate the generator set without a
functioning carbon monoxide detector. Be especially careful if
operating the generator set when moored or anchored under
calm conditions because gases may accumulate. If operating
the generator set dockside, moor the craft so that the exhaust
discharges on the lee side (the side sheltered from the wind).
Always be aware of others, making sure your exhaust is
directed away from other boats and buildings. Avoid
overloading the craft.
4.1 Types
Kohlerrgenerator sets covered in this manual use
either wet or dry exhaust systems. Dry exhaust systems
are common in commercial applications. See the
engine manual for specifications.
4.2 Exhaust Lines
Use water-cooled exhaust lines in all marine
installations. Keep the lines as short and straight as
possible. NFPA 302 Fire Protection Standard for
Pleasure and Commercial Motor Craft, Clause 4-3,
recommends using two corrosion-resistant hose
clamps with a minimum width of 13 mm (1/2 in.) on each
end of the flexible exhaust hose connections.
Kohler Co. requires a downward pitch of at least 13 mm
per 30.5 cm (1/2 in. per running foot). Use a flexible
exhaust hose that conforms to UL Standard 1129 for the
engine’s wet exhaust components between the mixer
elbow and the exhaust outlet.

TP-6069 6/0312 Section 4 Exhaust System
4.3 Exhaust System Location,
Mounting, and Installation
Mount the silencer independently to eliminate stress on
the exhaust system and the exhaust manifold/mixer
elbow. See Section 7 for the mixer elbow water line hose
size. See Figure 4-1 for the exhaust connection to the
mixer elbow. Provide an adequate hose length from the
exhaust mixer to the silencer to allow for generator set
movement.

3.5EFOZ/4EOZ Model Only
Locate the exhaust outlet at least 10 cm (4 in.) above the
waterline when the craft is loaded to maximum capacity.
Install an exhaust port with the flap at the exhaust
(transom) outlet to prevent water backup in following
seas or when moving astern (backward). A lift in the
exhaust piping before the piping exits the craft prevents
backwash. See Figure 4-4, item 1. Support the exhaust
lines to prevent the formation of water pockets.
Exhaust system installation guidelines for various
generator set locations follow. Information and
illustrations of stern- (rear) exhaust installations also
apply to side-exhaust installations. Where exhaust lines
require passage through bulkheads, use port (left)- or
starboard (right)- side exhaust outlets, also in
applications in which long exhaust lines to the transom
(rear) could cause excessive back pressure. See
Figure 4-3 for allowable back pressures. Should any
information regarding installation conflict with USCG
Regulations, follow USCG Regulations.

Mount a typical silencer with the inlet and outlet
horizontal and with the drain plug down. Use an exhaust
hose pitch of at least 13 mm per 30.5 cm (0.5 in. per
running foot). Some silencers require two support
brackets or hanger straps for installation to stringers or
other suitable structure. Follow the instructions
provided with the silencer. Install any lift (see

Follow USCG Regulations for installing an antisiphon
provision to prevent raw water entry into the engine.
Use the siphon break if the exhaust manifold outlet is
located less than 23 cm (9 in.) above the waterline when
the craft is loaded to maximum capacity. Install the
siphon break at least 31 cm (1 ft.) above the waterline
using the instructions provided with the siphon break kit.
Note: An improperly installed siphon break will cause
engine damage and may void the warranty.
Install the siphon break above the highest point in the
exhaust line between the heat exchanger and the
exhaust mixer. See Figure 4-5 for the siphon break
connection. Support the siphon break and hoses to
maintain their position and function. Allow a slight offset
to clear the stringers or other permanent structures.
Protect the siphon break air inlet from dirt and debris.
Note: To prevent water leakage on the generator set, do
not mount the siphon break directly over the
generator set.

Section 5 Fuel System
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling, storing,
and using fuels.
WARNING
Installing the fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can
cause severe injury or death. Fuel leakage can cause an
explosion. Do not modify the tank or the propulsion engine fuel
system. Equip the craft with a tank that allows one of the two
pickup arrangements described in the installation section. The
tank and installation must conform to USCG Regulations.
Note: Fuel system installations must conform to USCG
Regulations.
5.1 Fuel Tank
Most marine generator sets draw fuel from the same fuel
tank as the craft’s propulsion engine(s). If the tank’s fuel
pickup opening allows a multiple dip tube, use a multiple
dip tube arrangement. See Figure 5-1. The multiple dip
tube arrangement incorporates a shorter dip tube for the
generator set and a longer dip tube for the propulsion
engine. With this arrangement, the generator set runs
out of fuel before the propulsion engine during a low fuel
supply situation. Equip the fuel system with a fuel/water
separator to remove any accumulated dirt and water.

TP-6069 6/0318 Section 5 Fuel System
5.2 Fuel Lines
Locate the fuel return line as far as practical from the fuel
pickup to allow the tank fuel to cool the return fuel before
delivery back to the fuel injectors. Incoming fuel cools
the injectors to achieve maximum engine efficiency.
Note: Do not tee into the main propulsion engine’s fuel
line.
Under no circumstances should the propulsion engine
and generator set share pickup or return lines (through a
tee arrangement) that would allow the larger engine to
starve fuel from the smaller engine. It is possible that the
operation of either engine could completely drain the
fuel line of the other engine and make starting difficult.
Use a flexible hose section to connect the metallic line
from the fuel tank to the engine’s fuel pump inlet
connection point. Also, use a flexible hose section to
connect the metallic line from the fuel tank to the fuel
return connection point. The flexible section allows the
generator set to vibrate during operation.

Figure 6-1 AC Voltage Connections in Controller
Box (5--32EOZ Models, Typical)
6.1 AC Voltage Connections
Make AC connections to the generator set inside the
controller box (4--27EFOZ and 5--32EOZ models) or
inside the junction box (33--125EFOZ and 40--150EOZ
models). Typically, the generator set connects to a
ship-to-shore transfer switch that allows the use of
shore/utility power when docked or generator set power
when docked or at sea. The wiring then connects to a
main circuit breaker box (panel board) that distributes
branch circuits throughout the craft. See Figure 6-1 for
AC voltage connections to the generator set. See
Section 8 for reconnection of the generator set.
6.2 Circuit Protection
The AC circuit breakers (optional) protect the wiring
from the AC circuit breakers to the vessel’s distribution
panel. AC circuit breakers trip when they detect a fault in
the output circuit.
After correcting the fault, reset the AC circuit breaker(s)
by placing them in the ON position. Restart the unit. Do
not start the unit under load. See Figure 6-2 or
Figure 6-3 for AC circuit breaker ratings. The unit’s
voltage configuration determines the circuit breaker
selection.
Note: Circuit breaker ampere rating and availability are
subject to change.
6.2.1 Circuit Breaker Considerations
Mounting location. Mount the circuit breakers in the
generator set’s controller (4--27EFOZ and 5--32EOZ
models) or the generator set’s junction box
(33--125EFOZ and 40--150EOZ models). See
Section 6.2.2 or Section 6.2.3.
Note: 3.5EFOZ and 4EOZ models already have circuit
breakers installed.
Sizing. Use the generator set voltage/frequency
configuration to determine the circuit breaker
amperage. If the generator set voltage configuration
changes, change the circuit breaker to provide optimum
protection.
For circuit breaker application and selection
information, contact an authorized distributor/dealer.
Have a qualified electrician or technician install circuit
breakers and reconnect the generator set. Comply with
all governing standards and codes.

6.3 Installation In Steel or
Aluminum Vessels
Installation of a generator set in a vessel constructed of
a material capable of conducting current (e.g., steel or
aluminum) is subject to considerations not normally
encountered in fiberglass or wood vessels. These
differences include equipment grounding, grounding of
neutral conductors, ground-fault protection, and
isolation of galvanic currents.
The scope of these topics is too extensive to be fully
discussed here. Consult your local marine authority for
more information.
Before installing the generator set, check the available
wiring diagrams in the operation manual to become
familiar with the electrical system.
6.4 Installation Regulations
The U.S. Coast Guard governs generator set
installation in U.S. pleasurecraft and commercial
vessels. Refer to the applicable regulations below:
U.S. Pleasurecraft Installation

TP-6069 6/0324 Section 6 Electrical System
6.5 Battery
Batteries and their installation must conform to USCG
Regulations 183.420 (a) through (g). Provide generator
sets with batteries separate from the propulsion
engine’s whenever possible. The starting/charging
systems of both the generator set and the engine must
have a common negative (--) ground.
USCG Regulation 183.415, Grounding, requires
connection of a common conductor to each grounded
cranking-motor circuit. Size the conductor to match the
larger of the engine’s two battery cables. Figure 6-5 lists
cable sizes for generator set battery connections at
various ambient temperatures. Connecting a common
conductor to each grounded cranking motor circuit
prevents the starting motor current from using
alternative electrical paths should the cranking motor
ground circuit be restricted or open because of oxidation
or loose hardware. Alternative electrical paths include
metallic fuel lines that can pose a fire hazard. See
Figure 6-7 and Section 7 for battery connections to the
generator set.

The following information illustrates the reconnection of
four-lead generator sets. In all cases, conform to the
National Electrical Code (NEC).
NOTICE
Voltage reconnection. Affix a notice to the generator set after
reconnecting the set to a voltage different from the voltage on

8.1.1 100--120-Volt Configurations
If the installation requires a factory two-pole circuit
breaker, do not connect the load-side terminals of the
circuit breaker together; see Figure 8-1. If the
installation requires a 100--120-volt, 2-wire system, use
a single-pole circuit breaker. See Figure 8-2. When
connecting stator phase leads together, size the output
lead (L1) to handle the amperage. Use a jumper lead on
the line side of the circuit breaker to balance the load of
the generator set.

Overvoltage Shutdown Adjustment Procedure
1. Disconnect the generator set engine starting
battery, negative (--) lead first. Disconnect power to
the battery charger (if equipped).
2. With the generator set shut down, open the output
line circuit breaker to disconnect the load from the
generator set.
3. Remove the controller cover.
4. Wrap the shaft of an insulated-handle screwdriver
with electrical tape to insulate the metal shaft. Turn
the overvoltage potentiometer (R41) on the main
circuit board fully clockwise. See Figure 8-8.
5. Connect a digital AC voltmeter (or other 1%
minimum accuracy voltmeter) to terminals V0 and
V7 on the controller terminal block. See
Figure 8-6.
6. Reconnect the battery, negative (--) lead last.
7. Start the generator set by placing the generator set
master switch in the RUN position.
8. Adjust the output voltage to 115% of the nominal
output voltage using the voltage adjustment
potentiometer. If the voltage configuration is
139/240 volts (low wye) or 277/480 volts (high
wye), 3-phase, 4-wire, 60 Hz, adjust output voltage
to 160 volts across terminals V0 and V7. For all
other voltages, adjust the output to 140 volts
across terminals V0 and V7.
Adjust the voltage using the voltage adjustment
potentiometer on the generator controller front
panel. See Figure 8-7.

Stabilizer Potentiometer (Pot) fine tunes the regulator
circuitry to reduce light flicker.
Voltage Adjustment Pot adjusts the generator voltage
output within the range of approximately 100 to 130
volts.
Volts/Hz Pot determines the engine speed (Hz) at
which the generator output voltage begins to drop.
Note: The volts/Hz adjustment does not apply to the
following models:
Model
4/6.5/8/8.5/9EFOZ
5/8/9/10EOZ
Note: On these models, turn the volts/Hz adjustment
pot full counterclockwise to stop and seal. No
further volts/Hz adjustments are required.
Note: For optimum results, apply full load for voltage
regulator adjustment.
Voltage Regulator Adjustment Procedure
1. With the generator set off, turn the remote
rheostat, if equipped, to the midpoint.
2. Turn the voltage, volts/Hz, and stability pots fully
counterclockwise.
3. Connect the voltmeter and frequency meter to the
AC circuit or an electrical outlet.
4. Start the generator set.
5. Rotate the voltage adjustment pot clockwise to
increase the voltage (counterclockwise to
decrease voltage) to achieve the desired output
voltage.
6. Rotate the stability pot clockwise to minimize light
flicker.
7. Readjust the voltage adjustment pot if necessary.
8. Adjust the engine speed to the desired cut-in
frequency (factory setting 57.5–58 Hz for 60 Hz
models or 47.5–48 Hz for 50 Hz models) as
measured on frequency meter. To change engine
speed adjust the governor arm. Loosen the
locknut and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise
to achieve the desired frequency. See
Figure 8-13. If a second screw holds the governor
arm, loosen the locknut and back out the screw.
9. If applicable, rotate the volts/Hz adjustment pot
clockwise until the voltage level begins to drop (as
measured on the voltmeter). When set to these
specifications, the generator attempts to maintain
normal output until the engine speed drops below
the frequency set in step 8 as load is applied.
10. Readjust the engine speed to normal (63 Hz/
1890 rpm for 60 Hz or 52.5 Hz/1575 rpm for
50 Hz). Tighten the locknut when the adjustments
are complete. Turn the second screw, if used, to
lock the governor arm in place and tighten the
locknut.
11. Readjust the voltage adjustment pot if necessary.
12. Readjust the stability pot if necessary.
13. Use the remote rheostat, if equipped, to make final
voltage adjustments.
14. Stop the generator set.

Appendix A Generator Selection and Wattage Requirements
Consider total wattage requirements (lights, motors,
appliances) when selecting a generator set or when
sizing wattage usage in which available space and
construction limit the size of the generator set.
Motors
When figuring generator set capacity requirements for
loads that include electric motors, consider the high
current demanded by the motors during startup. The
inrush or starting current is typically 2--3 times higher
than that required when the motor reaches normal
operating speed. Allow reserve for inrush demands plus
other loads which could be on the line as the electric
motor starts. Use Figure 1 as a guide when selecting
generator set capacity requirements involving motor
loads.

Figure 1 Motor Requirements
Lighting
To calculate lighting load, add the wattage of each
generator set-operated lamp. Note that not all of the
lights or lamps are on the generator set AC circuit; some
are DC powered by a 12-volt battery. Make sure the
calculated total wattage includes only lights actually on
the generator set AC circuit.
Air Conditioners
The starting characteristics of air conditioners vary
greatly; one 12,000 Btu unit has, for example, lower
starting requirements than a 10,000 Btu unit of another
variety. When using only one unit, there is usually no
starting problem, provided the lighting and appliance
load is not too high when starting the unit.
Simultaneous starting of two air conditioning units,
however, can present problems if the generator set
capacity is marginal. Because of the variation in starting
characteristics among air conditioners, this publication
makes no statements regarding multiple-motor starting
capabilities of the generator set covered. Consider
delayed starting or use of easy-starting devices on air
conditioner units whenever simultaneously starting
more than one motor.
See Figure 2 for typical air conditioner requirements.
Information will vary with manufacturer.
Appliances
Generator sets often furnish AC for appliances such as
TV, stereo, electric water heater, etc. With the exception
of the resistance-type loads such as the water heater,
requirements for appliances are usually low. Do not
overlook such loads when figuring total requirements.
Allow reserve capacity for anticipated appliance loads to
avoid overloading a generator set.

Appendix C Generator Set Output Ratings Procedure
Kohler Co. develops the kilowatt output rating of a Kohlerr
marine generator set based upon the calculations
specified in ISO 3046 and ISO 8528-1. The calculations
correct for environmental variables encountered in a
generator set installation. Figure 1 outlines the
calculations. Figure 2 contains examples of how heat
variables affect generator set ratings.
Generator Output corrected = Generator Output observed x Correction Factor
Output power is expected to be within ±5% of the specified rating when corrected to reference conditions.
Correction factors are determined using the following formulas:
1. For naturally aspirated compression-ignition engines (power limited by excess air):
C.F. = [1.175 (29.2 / Dry Barometer in. Hg)1(Temperature _F + 460/537).75 -- .175]
x Alternator Efficiency Reference / Alternator Efficiency Observed
2. For turbocharged compression ignition engines:
C.F. = [1.175 (29.2 / Barometer Observed in. Hg).7 (Temperature _F + 460/537)2-- .175]
x Alternator Efficiency Reference / Alternator Efficiency Observed
3. For turbocharged and intercooled compression ignition engines:
C.F. = [1.175 (29.2 / Barometer Observed in. Hg).7 (Temperature _F + 460/537)1.2 -- .175]
x Alternator Efficiency Reference / Alternator Efficiency Observed
Reference conditions:
Temperature: 77_F; Pressure: 29.2 in. Hg dry barometer.
Kohler sound shield increases ambient intake air approx. 12_F
Approximate derates:
Temperature: approximately 1% per 10_F (turbocharged engines have a greater derate);
Pressure (altitude): approximately 4% per 1000 ft. (1 in. Hg)
