GENERATOR TESTINGBy routinely loadtesting generators most pending failures are highlighted and corrective action can be taken before the disaster occurs. Diesel generators are routinely tested via off-load tests by facilities companies and in-house maintenance staff, although this test proves the starting and basic functionality of the control gear the true performance of the machine under load conditions is not simulated and therefore load related problems go unnoticed. Only when a true mains failure occurs and the building load is applied does the problem raise its ugly head and usually with serious consequential results.UPS TESTINGUPS systems have similar requirements for loadtesting as the true autonomy of the DC batteries is rarely tested post system commissioning. UPS systems by their very nature are feeding system critical equipment and therefore cannot be allowed to fail or indeed lose DC output too quickly.IN-HOUSE LOADBANK FLEETMEMS range of loadbanks starts at 50kW with units which are mounted on casters and will fit through a conventional office type door through to 2000kW single units which can be paralleled together to provide solutions up to and exceeding 10mW. Reactive loadbanks are also available in the same size kVA ratings.<- Back |
