FAQ

Q1: Where is the Build List located?

The Build List is shown on the engine's data/rating plate alongside the engine serial number (ESN). Both should be confirmed before placing an order.

Q2: What is the difference between the A, C, and D generation variants?

The letter prefix indicates emissions tier — A is Fuel Optimised/non-emissions compliant, C is Tier 2, D is Tier 3 — while power level is set separately by the TAG suffix. Consult the relevant series page for tier-specific power and output figures.

Q3: How can I verify genuine Perkins parts versus aftermarket?

Genuine Perkins parts carry OEM part numbers traceable through the Build List and ESN. ZEB Power supplies factory-genuine stock only, verified against engine nameplate data before shipment.

Q4: Is this engine compatible with my OEM genset model?

Compatibility depends on mounting, coupling, and control specifications defined by the OEM, not the engine model alone. Provide your genset's Build List and ESN for confirmation before ordering.

Q5: What lubricating oil does this engine require?

15W40 oil meeting API CI4 specification is required, with a total system capacity of 62 litres.

Q6: What does "ElectropaK" configuration mean for this engine?

ElectropaK denotes a Perkins factory-configured engine package for generator set application. Exact scope of included components should be confirmed against the Build List at time of quote.

Q7: What fuel specification does this engine require?

Fuel must meet BS 2869 Part 2 1998 Class A2 or ASTM D975 D2 specification.

Q8: How does fuel consumption compare between rpm variants?

Fuel consumption data is available for the 1500rpm version only: 199 g/kWh (100 l/hr) at Prime power and 200 g/kWh (111 l/hr) at Standby power. Equivalent data for the 1800rpm version sharing Build List MGBF5083 has not yet been confirmed.
