4000 Series

4012-46TAG1A
Diesel Engine – ElectropaK
1263 kWm 1500 rpm
Economic power
 Individual four valve per cylinder heads give optimised gas flows, whilst digitally
governed unit fuel injectors ensure ultra-fine fuel atomisation and hence controlled
rapid combustion, for efficiency and economy
 Commonality of components with other engines in the 4000 Series family allows
reduced parts stocking levels

The above ratings represent the engine performance capabilities guaranteed within plus or minus 3% at the reference conditions equivalent to those specified in ISO 8528/1, ISO 3046/1, BS 5514/1.
Rating conditions: 25°C air inlet temperature, barometric pressure 100 kPa, relative humidity 30%. Please consult your distributor or the factory for ratings in other ambient conditions.
Note: For full ratings please refer to Perkins Engines Company Limited. All electrical ratings are based on an average alternator efficiency and a power factor of 0.8.
Fuel specification: BS2869: Class A2.
Rating Definitions
Baseload Power: Power available for continuous full load operation. No overload is permitted.
Prime Power: Power available for variable load with an average load factor not exceeding 80% of the prime power rating in any 24 hour period. Overload of 10% permitted for 1 hour in every 12 hours operation
Standby (maximum): Power available at variable load in the event of a main power network failure up to a maximum of 500 hours per year. No overload is permitted.
