This part of GB/T 2820 specifies the terms, design and performance arising out of the combination of a Reciprocating Internal Combustion (RIC) engine and an Alternating Current (a.c.) generating sets when operating as a unit.
It applies to a.c. generating sets driven by RIC engines for land and marine use, excluding generating sets used on aircraft or to propel land vehicles and locomotives.
For some specific applications (e.g. essential hospital supplies and high-rise buildings) supplementary requirements may be necessary. The provisions of this part should be regarded as a basis for establishing any supplementary requirements.
For a.c. generating sets driven by other reciprocating-type prime movers (e.g. steam engines), the provisions of this part should be used as a basis for establishing these requirements.

3 Symbols, Terms and Definitions
For indications of technical data for electrical equipment, IEC uses the term "rated" and the subscript "N". For indications of technical data for mechanical equipment, ISO uses the term "declared" and the subscript "r". Therefore, in this part, the term "rated" is applied only to electrical items. Otherwise, the term "declared" is used throughout.
