Notes: 1. Power ratings measured at the ywheel apply to a fully

run-in, non derated engine without a radiator and fan tted, and
without power absorbing accessories or transmission equipment.
2. The overload capability applies to a fully run-in engine.
This is normally attained after a running period of about 50 hours.
3. Excluding radiator.

1. Fixed Speed - Continuous Power (ICN)

The power in kW which the engine is capable of delivering
continuously at the stated crankshaft speed, under ISO 3046
standard conditions, measured at the flywheel without powerabsorbing accessories, provided that the engine is overhauled
and maintained in good operating condition and that fuel to BS EN

2. Fixed Speed (Fuel Stop) - Overload Power (ICXN)
The maximum power in kW which the engine is capable of delivering
intermittently at the stated crankshaft speed for a period not
exceeding one hour in any period of twelve hours of continuous
running, immediately after working at the continuous power, under
ISO 3046 standard conditions and with the provisions specied for
continuous power in item ( 1 ) above, but with the fuel limited so that
the fuel stop power cannot be exceeded.
3. Fixed Speed Power - Continuous Power, Standby
This rating is applicable for supplying emergency power in variable
load applications. Overload is not allowed.
4. Derating
For non-standard site conditions, reference should be made to
relevant BS, ISO & DIN standards.
