8528-1 standard
PRP: main power
ESP: emergency power
7 - Rated power factor
8 - Maximum altitude of the site above sea level (m)
for the rated power
9 - Maximum ambient temperature for the rated power
(°C)
10 - Rated frequency (Hz)
11 - Generating set rotation speed (RPM)
12- Rated voltage (V)
13 - Rated current (A)
14 - Weight (kg)
15 - CE marking
16 - Non CE standard marking e.g.: GOSSTANDART)
17 - Sound pressure
