1800 rpm / 60 Hz Power Rating
This page covers the 1800 rpm TAG3 configuration. Final generator output depends on the approved engine rating, ECM calibration, alternator efficiency, cooling system and site derating.
| Duty | Gross Mechanical Output | Net Mechanical Output | Typical Electrical Output | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prime | 407 kWm (approximately 546 hp) | 381 kWm (approximately 511 hp) | 350 kWe / approximately 438 kVA | Variable-load operation with extended annual use, subject to the applicable rating standard. |
| Standby | 462 kWm (approximately 620 hp) | 435 kWm (approximately 583 hp) | 400 kWe / 500 kVA | Emergency power when the normal electrical source fails. |
The kVA values above assume a typical 0.8 power factor. Standby output should not be used as a continuous base-load rating.
Fuel-Consumption and Site Planning
Fuel consumption varies with load, duty, alternator efficiency, fan demand, fuel properties, ambient temperature and altitude. Use the rating sheet for the approved Build List rather than applying one generic g/kWh figure to every installation.
| Planning Input | Required Information | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Duty | Prime or standby | Each rating uses different operating assumptions. |
| Load profile | Typical, minimum and peak electrical load | Part-load fuel use is not proportional to full-load consumption. |
| Alternator | Model, efficiency and power factor | Mechanical output and delivered electrical output are not identical. |
| Fuel | Local diesel specification and density | Required for reliable liters-per-hour calculations. |
| Site | Maximum ambient temperature and elevation | Derating may reduce available output. |
ElectropaK Supply Scope and Installation Data
The exact ElectropaK scope varies by Build List, production batch and commercial agreement. Confirm all included and loose-supplied components in the quotation.
| System | Common Family Equipment | Order Check |
|---|---|---|
| Air inlet | Engine-mounted air filter | Confirm rain hood, restriction indicator and installation air path if required. |
| Cooling | Circulating pump, pusher fan and radiator with air-to-air charge cooler | Confirm whether the radiator is mounted or supplied loose and verify ambient capability. |
| Electrical | 24 V starter, 24 V 70 A charging alternator, ECM, wiring and sensors | Confirm starter arrangement, connectors and customer-controller interface. |
| Flywheel | SAE J620 size 14 high-inertia flywheel | Confirm torsional compatibility with the selected AC alternator. |

Build List, ESN and Replacement Matching
The model name identifies the engine family, but it does not define every fitted component. Use the complete Build List and ESN to verify the rating, ECM, fuel system, cooling equipment, electrical components, flywheel arrangement and replacement parts.
| Identification Item | Example | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Engine model | 2206D-E13TAG3 | Identifies the base engine family and TAG3 power node. |
| Build List | TGDF5082 or TGD5082 | Identifies the production specification and fitted component combination. |
| Engine Serial Number | Complete ESN from the dataplate | Links the engine to its individual manufacturing and service record. |
| Rated speed and duty | 1800 rpm, prime or standby | Prevents selection of the wrong calibration or output rating. |
| Dataplate photograph | Clear image of every field | Reduces transcription errors during quotation and parts matching. |
TGD5082 and TGDF5082
TGD5082 and TGDF5082 may be encountered as related configuration references, but they should not be treated as universally identical from the numeric suffix alone. Confirm the complete Build List, ESN and applicable part supersessions before approving an engine or component.
2206A, 2206C and 2206D Compatibility
The 2206A, 2206C and 2206D versions occupy different emissions and calibration positions within the wider 2206 platform. Similar displacement and external architecture do not make complete engines, ECMs, injectors or internal parts automatically interchangeable.
| Compatibility Check | Items to Compare |
|---|---|
| Mechanical interface | Mounts, flywheel, housing, coupling, dimensions and alternator alignment |
| Electrical interface | ECM, harness, starter voltage, charging alternator, sensors and controller connections |
| Rating | 1800 rpm, 60 Hz, duty and ECM calibration |
| Cooling | Radiator, charge cooler, fan, enclosure airflow and ambient capability |
| Emissions | Destination-market requirements and project permit |
Any A-to-C, C-to-D or D-to-earlier-generation replacement should be handled as an engineering substitution rather than a direct model-name replacement.
