Is your generator sized correctly?🔌
This client had their 200kVA generator run at less than 5% of its maximum load for over 5000hrs! This causes severe glazing of the cylinders leading to wet stacking, overheating, poor performance and shortened engine life.
Our team completed a full service and health assessment on this unit before carrying out a 12-hour load bank test. This process helps burn off accumulated deposits, confirms the generator can perform under rated load, and verifies its output and overall operation.
Regular load bank testing is essential for standby generators that spend most of their life idling or operating under light loads. It ensures your generator will perform when you need it most.
A big thanks to the team at Genset Hire and Sales Australia for supplying the load bank and helping make this project a success.
