> Ackshully, looks more like 450 kVA. Even is it is a 470 kVA genset, some of the skeptics are likely wrong because: 1) The measured thermal heat was 479 kW. A 470 kVA genset will not constantly provide 479 kW and also run the ancillary pumps, etc.; and, 2) Take a look at the exhaust cap. A genset running full bore vent cap will be at a 90 degree angle to the exhaust pipe. In Mat's vid, it looks to be at about 80 degrees or less. A genset exhaust vent cap will open this wide on idle. Sure, a small detail, but thar be the devil! Okay, let me be the first to say that Rossi could have changed the nameplate on a 600 kVA generator. <sigh> T
