1800 rpm / 60 Hz Power Output
The TAG5 rating below is intended for 1800 rpm operation. Final electrical output depends on the approved engine rating, alternator efficiency, controller settings, cooling system and site derating.
| Duty | Gross Mechanical Output | Net Mechanical Output | Typical Electrical Output | Operating Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prime | 373 kWm (approximately 500 hp) | 349 kWm (approximately 468 hp) | 320 kWe / 400 kVA | Variable-load operation with extended annual use under the applicable rating definition. |
| Standby | 407 kWm (approximately 546 hp) | 381 kWm (approximately 511 hp) | 350 kWe / 438 kVA | Emergency operation when the normal electrical supply fails. |
The kVA values assume a typical 0.8 power factor and average alternator efficiency. Standby output should not be selected as a continuous base-load rating.
Reference Fuel Consumption at 1800 rpm
The figures below are planning references based on net engine power. Actual consumption depends on the approved rating, alternator efficiency, fuel properties, fan demand, ambient temperature, altitude and load profile.
| Load Point | Specific Fuel Consumption | Approximate Fuel Use | Planning Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standby rating | 197 g/kWh | Approximately 89 L/h | Use only for the approved standby rating. |
| 110% of prime | 200 g/kWh | Approximately 91 L/h | Overload availability depends on the applicable prime-power definition. |
| 100% prime | 201 g/kWh | Approximately 83 L/h | Useful for full-load operating-cost estimates. |
| 75% prime | 204 g/kWh | Approximately 63 L/h | Often more representative of variable-load operation. |
| 50% prime | 209 g/kWh | Approximately 44 L/h | Do not extrapolate linearly to lower loads. |
For tank sizing or lifecycle-cost calculations, use the rating data for the confirmed Build List together with the actual site load profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What output does the 2206A-E13TAG5 provide at 1800 rpm?
It provides 320 kWe / 400 kVA prime power and 350 kWe / 438 kVA standby power for a typical 60 Hz generator application.
What does Fuel Optimised mean?
It is Perkins’ emissions position for this engine family. It should not automatically be described as Tier 1 or as compliant with a specific regulated emissions standard without destination-specific documentation.
Is ElectropaK a complete generator set?
No. ElectropaK is a generator-drive engine package. The AC alternator, controller, base frame, fuel tank, batteries, silencer and enclosure are included only when stated in the quotation.
Are TGFF5079 and TGF5079 automatically interchangeable?
No universal assumption should be made. Compare the complete Build List, ESN, rating and applicable component supersessions before approving an engine or part.
Can the engine be changed from 1800 rpm to 1500 rpm?
The wider family supports both speed positions, but conversion requires verification of the engine rating and ECM as well as the alternator, controller, voltage, cooling and protection system.
Can parts be ordered using only “2206A-E13TAG5”?
The complete Build List and ESN are required for reliable identification. Existing part numbers and component photographs should also be supplied when available.
Can the engine operate at high altitude or high ambient temperature?
Yes, when the rating and cooling package are selected correctly, but site derating may apply. Provide elevation and maximum ambient temperature before final selection.
Is the lead time always three to four weeks?
No. Lead time depends on stock, engine condition, inspection scope, quantity, documentation and destination. Use the lead time stated in the individual quotation.
