CAT rating definitions
StandbyTypical load factor 60 % or lessTypical hours per year 100 hoursTypical peak demand 80 % of standby rated ekW with 100 %
of rating available for the duration of anemergency outage
Typical application Building services standby and enclosedor sheltered environment
Standby rating definitions
Prime + 10 %Typical load factor 60 % or lessTypical hours per year Less than 500 hoursTypical load demand 80 % of rated ekW with 100 % of rating
available for duration of an emergencyoutage
Typical application Uncovered standby, rental, power moduleUnreliable utility
Prime + 10 % rating definitions
Prime rating definitionsPrimeTypical load factor 60 % to 70 %Typical hours per year No limitTypical peak demand 100 % of prime rating used occasionallyTypical application Industrial, pumping, construction, peak
saving or cogeneration
Continuous rating definitionsContinuousTypical load factor 70 % to 100 %Typical hours per year No limitTypical peak demand 100 % of continuous rating used 100 %
of the timeTypical application Base load, utility, cogeneration, parallel
operation
Load factor = % of time X % of load
% of time = --------------------------Time at specific load
Total operating time
% of load = -----------------Specific load

LOAD FACTOR
Sample Genset rated at 550 KWRuns two hours a weekDuring two hours it runs at 400 KW for 1.5 hours
% of load = ------------400 Kw550 Kw
= 0.73 %
% of time = ----------------90 minutes
120 minutes= 0.75 %
Load factor = 0.73 X 0.75 = 54.75 %
Rating
Generator name plate
CAT generator rating is based on temperature riseRefer to NEMA ( National Electric Manufactures Association )And IEC ( International Electro-technical Commission )

How to define total temperature limit ?
Temperature rise + 40oC + 10oC
As table shownAmbient temp
