 The diesel generator sets for this sample project are sized for 30kw continuous/baseload, or 38kw [[ge:prime-vs-standby|prime power]]. The [[cp:start|Control System]] will automatically start a second generator if the first generator reaches 80% of its capacity, synchronize and operate them in parallel. When the load drops below 70% of the single genset capacity it will automatically unload and cool down the second genset. If the running generator shuts down due to a fault the second generator will automatically start and carry the load; if possible (in the case of a critical warning, like high water temperature or low coolant) the load will be transferred automatically before shut down.  The diesel generator sets for this sample project are sized for 30kw continuous/baseload, or 38kw [[ge:prime-vs-standby|prime power]].

 +    * Note: generator windings in high humidity or tropical environments can experience insulation failure in just two or three years due to absorption of moisture in the windings. The Mariner model somewhat helps to prevent this; for the best protection, see the article on [[heaters |generator heaters]].
