Answer / guest

Critical parameters of engine are:
1. Max. torque or breakdown torque
2. max. speed and minimum speed.
3. speed reduction with % of full load.
4.max. working temperature.
5.speed governor charaterestics.

and that of alternator is:

1. starting ampacity
2. max. working insulation/ conductor temperature.
3. frequency variation on % of full loads.
4. voltage drop on % full load.
5. over load capacity
