LOAD BANKTESTING
You may never think about it until it’s too late, but Load Bank Testing on a regular basis goes a long way in saving you money.
Here are the top reasons you should safeguard your system with Load Bank Testing by RP Power.
1. By actually drawing power from the generator, load banking tests your system’s capability without interrupting standard utility services to your facility.
2. Load banking is the only way to ensure that the engine’s cooling system will perform as designed.
3. By fully loading the engine, load banking helps mitigate “wet stacking”, a condition in which unburned fuel enters the exhaust system.
4. Load banking exercises your generator. Standard exercising, running the engine with no load, only tests the engine’s ability to start. Load banking is the only true way to exercise
the entire generator.
5. Load banking is required by law in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association Code 110, “Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems” where life safety electrical power needs are involved.
NFPA 110 Section 8.4.2.3 states: “Diesel-powered EPS installations that do not
meet the requirements of 8.4.2 shall be exercised monthly with the available EPS
load and shall be exercised annually with supplemental loads at not less than 50
percent of the EPS nameplate kW rating for 30 continuous minutes and at not less
than 75 percent of the EPS nameplate kW rating for 1 continuous hour for a total
test duration of not less than 1.5 continuous hours.”
