RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

(1) Continuous --- Maximum output available for an unlimited time

Ratings are based on pipeline natural gas having a Low Heat Value (LHV) of 35.6 MJ/Nm3
(905 Btu/ft3) and 80 Cat Methane Number. For values in excess of altitude, ambient temperature,
inlet / exhaust restriction, or different from the conditions listed, contact your local Cat dealer.

(2) Efficiency of standard generator is used. For higher efficiency generators, contact your local
Cat dealer.

3) Ratings and fuel consumption are based on ISO3046/1 standard reference conditions of
25 °C (77 °F) of ambient temperature and 100 kPa (29.61 in Hg) of total barometric pressure,
30% relative humidity with 0,+5% fuel tolerance. Fuel conditions in Nm3/hr at 0 °C, 100 kPa.
Fuel conditions in scf/hr at 60 °F, 1atm.

(4) Altitude capability is based on 2.5 kPa air filter and 5.0 kPa exhaust stack restrictions.

(5) Heat rejection - Values based on nominal data with fuel tolerance of ±2.5% and 2.5 kPa inlet
and 5.0 kPa exhaust restrictions.

(6) Assumed synchronous driver.

Data shown is based on steady state engine operating conditions of 25 °C (77 °F), 96.28 kPa
(28.43 in Hg) and fuel having a LHV of 35.6 MJ/Nm3 (905 Btu/ft3) and 80 Cat Methane Number
at 101.60 kPa (30.00 in Hg) absolute and 0 °C (32 °F). Emission data shown is subject to
instrumentation, measurement, facility, and engine fuel system adjustment.

(7) Emissions data measurements are consistent with those described in EPA CFR 40 Part 89 Subpart
D & E and ISO8178-1 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx.
