Overview#
The Blue Star NG300-01P is the prime-rated variant of the NG300-01, delivering 260 kWe continuously on natural gas (175 kWe on LP). It uses the identical PSI 14.6L V8 platform, structural steel base, and enclosure as the standby NG300-01. Three-phase only — no single-phase option.
Standby vs. prime on the NG300 platform#
| NG300-01 (Standby) | NG300-01P (Prime) | |
|---|---|---|
| Output NG | 300 kWe | 260 kWe |
| Output LP | 200 kWe | 175 kWe |
| Warranty | 2 yr / 2,000 hr | 1 yr / 1,500 hr |
| NG fuel @ 100% | 3,269 ft³/hr | 2,809 ft³/hr |
| Temp rise | 125°C standby | 105°C prime |
Both share the same OPU footprint (140 × 78 × 90 in, 9,200 lbs) and DSE DCP7310 controller.
When to spec the NG300-01P#
- 200–260 kW continuous or prime duty on natural gas or LP (three-phase only)
- Large commercial or campus facilities operating the generator in prime or peak-shaving service
- Projects where continuous operation certification is required and 260 kW fits the load profile
Our service experience#
Service procedures are identical to the NG300-01. Prime-duty operation increases annual hour accumulation; budget spark plug, ignition coil, and coolant service intervals accordingly relative to standby use. Gas supply infrastructure must support the 3-inch NPT fuel connection.
