OSSA Powerlite uses the tag line “Propulsion Duty Rated” for your generators. What is that all about?

“Propulsion Duty Rated” is much more than just a promotional tag line. It is our promise that your OSSA Powerlite generator is going to give you performance that you expect and require in a propulsion application. Few generators are able to provide sustained power output at their rated capacity for days on end. Those that will often use rating methods that can be confusing for even the most experienced buyer. For example; A generator rated to provide a continuous output of “50kva” is generally rated with a 0.8 power factor. While the rating may be technically accurate, it will not provide 50kw of power for propulsion. It will provide 50kw x 0.8 or 40kw. To avoid this kind of nasty surprise, OSSA Powerlite generators are rated according to international “prime mover” specifications for generators in diesel-electric commercial ship applications. These specifications require the generator to not only be rated at continuous duty output, put to have the ability to provide bursts of power ov
