This session provides a clear explanation of generator set rating definitions and duty cycles, and how they are applied in data centre standby power system design. It examines how rating selection influences generator sizing, price, compliance requirements, and system design assumptions, and where inappropriate application can lead to unintended technical or commercial outcomes.

Aimed at those who design, specify, install, or operate standby power systems, this session equips attendees with the technical understanding needed to make generator rating decisions they can clearly justify in data centres and other mission-critical applications.
