**************************************************************************

NOTE: This guide specification covers the

requirements for 1800 rpm diesel engine-generator

sets with ratings up to 2000 kW at 0.8 power factor

intended for use in low voltage, non paralleling,

emergency electrical power systems meeting

requirements of NFPA 70, NFPA 99, and MIL-HDBK-1191.

Comments and suggestions on this guide specification

are welcome and should be directed to the technical

proponent of the specification. A listing of

technical proponents, including their organization

designation and telephone number, is on the Internet.

Recommended changes to a UFGS should be submitted as

a Criteria Change Request (CCR).

Use of electronic communication is encouraged.

Brackets are used in the text to indicate designer

choices or locations where text must be supplied by

the designer.

**************************************************************************

NOTE: This guide specification will require

modification for applications where automatic

transfer switches are not used. When generators are

to be operated in parallel with utility or with

other generators, and for medium voltage (greater

than 600 volt) systems, contact the responsible EFD

or EFA for determination as to which specification

or sample specification is to be used.
