As demand for load bank testing services increases, many companies are having to push their testing schedule back simply because there aren't enough technicians available to test their systems. That is why we strongly recommend scheduling load bank testing as soon as possible to help protect your system from damage and your operations from delays. Setting a firm date will ensure that EGSA certified technicians are available to perform the required tests within the appropriate timeframe.

Routine Testing Is Essential for Every Generator

Whether you use your generator daily or once a year, it's essential to perform regular load bank testing. In fact, the less frequently you utilize many diesel generators, the more important testing is because infrequent use can cause significant deviations in performance and reliability. For most operators, load bank testing on non-mission critical generators should be performed monthly, with greater frequency for mission-critical systems.

Load bank testing creates minimal disruption to operations. When incorporated as part of scheduled downtime, there is no disruption at all. It's a cost-effective investment of time and resources that provide an accurate assessment of system performance before an undetected fault can cause a disrupting failure. In fact, most operators will agree that regular load bank testing is far less expensive than the repair costs associated with a sudden failure.

From start to finish, load bank testing takes less than a few hours to complete. The NFPA-110 test takes just two hours. This test includes:

• Operating the generator at 25% of unit rating for 30 minutes


• Operating the generator at 50% of unit rating for 30 minutes


• Operating the generator at 75% of unit rating for 60 minutes
