Hi Proz,
The sentence is as follows:
Cada turbina provee, bajo desnivel liquido de 36.7 m, la potencia en el eje es de 3,230 kW para funcionamiento continuo.
Do they mean each turbine operates under a water level of 36.7 m and the pwer in the shaft is 3,230 kW for continuous operation??
Thanks

And I would say here "under a water head of 36,7 m...".

under a water level difference of 36,7 m
Pretty bad grammar in your spanish ST. mi interpretation of the sentence would be something along these lines:
Cada turbina provee, bajo desnivel liquido de 36.7 m, 3,230 kW de potencia en el eje para funcionamiento continuo.
Each turbine provides/generates, under a water level difference of 36,7 m, 3.230 kW of power at the shaft ...

Sorry for the typo: "My interpretation ..."
Also decimal points and commas are changed in my answer (in spanish it should be 36,7 m and 3.230 kW, the other way around in english, usually)
