Import Tips

Document excitation system details to distinguish from AC synchronous generators, preventing misclassification

Label clearly as 'DC Generator' with kW rating; mismatches lead to 10+ % duty adjustments

Watch for auxiliary equipment; separate shipments of control panels may require separate entries
