if one is to get serious about efficiency testing a genset it is nice to have
some idea where your results fit in with commercial units available in your kwatt class

this is a link to just such a test

http://www.victronenergy.com/generatortest/

go to where it says "generator test" and download the pdf file
it is probably the best piece on a wide variety of commercially available diesel gensets
i have seen to date.

there is our standard, the brass ring so to speak.
we should aspire to getting our efficiency numbers somewhere close to there scatter points
on the efficiency graphs from their tests.

an excellent read in my opinion for anyone contemplating doing efficiency testing on there genset.
