Example 3:
Normal running conditions. Engine coupled to xed pitch propeller (FPP) and with shaft generator
M Specied MCR of engine
S Continuous service rating of engine
O Matching point of engine
A Reference point of load diagram
MP Specied MCR for propulsion
SP Continuous service rating of propulsion
SG Shaft generator power
Point A of load diagram is found:
Line Propeller curve through matching point (O)
Line 7 Constant power line through specied MCR (M)
Point A Intersection between line and 7

In example 3 a shaft generator (SG) is installed,
and therefore the service power of the engine also
has to incorporate the extra shaft power required
for the shaft generator’s electrical power produc-
tion.
In the gure, the engine service curve shown for
heavy running incorporates this extra power.
The matching point O will normally be chosen on
the propeller curve (~ the engine service curve)
through point M.
Point A is then found in the same way as in ex-
ample and the load diagram can be drawn as
shown in the gure.
