A preventive maintenance program is critical to the reliability of a standby generator. Generator load bank testing is an essential part of good maintenance practices. Performing yearly load bank tests helps to extend the generator’s engine life, and ensure reliable operation during a utility power failure.

Load bank testing allows a standby generator to be tested and exercised to verify its overall reliability, and its ability to run at its full rated kW output. Typically, a generator is running at a level far less than the units rated output capability. Load bank testing allows the engine to reach this full operating temperature and ‘burns out’ this accumulation of un-burnt fuel. The result is a unit that runs cleaner and more efficiently. It also to ensure that your standby generator is operating as it was designed too. During the load bank test, our engineers will monitor critical engine parameters such as: oil pressure, engine temperature, fuel pressure, etc. We record these readings to show that once the unit reaches full rated load, it runs at normal operating temperatures and pressures. With this service, we provide a full report of the readings including generator output readings such as: voltages, amperages, kW, etc.
