    The document provides information on the fuel consumption and electrical output of a 500kVA diesel generator set at different loads. It shows that as the load on the generator decreases from 100% to 75% to 50%, the fuel consumption decreases from 101.36 liters/hour to 78.71 liters/hour to 54.26 liters/hour respectively. It also shows that the electrical power output and units generated per liter of fuel consumed slightly decreases as the load decreases. A cost analysis is also provided showing the operating cost per hour decreases from Rs. 5068 to Rs. 3935 to Rs. 2713 as the load decreases from 100% to 75% to 50%.

    NOTES:
    1) Fuel consumption is arrived as per above formula.
    2) The fuel density is as specified in data sheet.
    3)The fuel consumption is for engine gross power (ie fly wheel power + Fan power)
    4) pf of 0.8 is assumed for arriving at the electrical kW
