    • Each generator in the group must have the same nameplate rating (kVA) value.
    • Each generator in the group must have the same derated nameplate rating (kW) value.
  • For 2N, 2(N+1) and 2(N+2) system types:
    • Up to three groups are allowed.
    • All groups must have the same number of generators.
