Appendix II to Part 1054 - Duty Cycles for Laboratory Testing

(a) Test handheld engines with the following steady-state duty cycle:

G3 mode No.	Engine speeda	Torque (percent)b	Weighting factors
1	Rated speed	100	0.85
2	Warm idle	0	0.15

^a Test engines at the specified speeds as described in § 1054.505.

^b Test engines at 100 percent torque by setting operator demand to maximum. Control torque during idle at its warm idle speed as described in 40 CFR 1065.510.

(b) Test nonhandheld engines with one of the following steady-state duty cycles:

(1) The following duty cycle applies for discrete-mode testing:

G2 mode No.a	Torque (percent)b	Weighting factors
1	100	0.09
2	75	0.2
3	50	0.29
4	25	0.3
5	10	0.07
6	0	0.05

^a Control engine speed as described in § 1054.505. Control engine speed for Mode 6 as described in § 1054.505(c) for idle operation.

^b The percent torque is relative to the value established for full-load torque, as described in § 1054.505.

(2) The following duty cycle applies for ramped-modal testing:

Table 3 to Paragraph (b)(2)

RMC modea	Time in mode (seconds)	Torque (percent) b c
1a Steady-state	41	0.
1b Transition	20	Linear transition.
2a Steady-state	135	100.
2b Transition	20	Linear transition.
3a Steady-state	112	10.
3b Transition	20	Linear transition.
4a Steady-state	337	75.
4b Transition	20	Linear transition.
5a Steady-state	518	25.
5b Transition	20	Linear transition.
6a Steady-state	494	50.
6b Transition	20	Linear transition.
7 Steady-state	43	0.

^a Control engine speed as described in § 1054.505. Control engine speed for Mode 6 as described in § 1054.505(c) for idle operation.

^b Advance from one mode to the next within a 20-second transition phase. During the transition phase, command a linear progression from the torque setting of the current mode to the torque setting of the next mode.

^c The percent torque is relative to the value established for full-load torque, as described in § 1054.505.
