Resistive & Reactive Load Bank Testing
Depending on the generator’s application, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual load bank testing may be required to meet regulatory and reliability standards. Hospitals, fire stations, data centers, critical care facilities, and 911 call centers must adhere to NFPA 110 Standards, local regulations, or Joint Commission (JCAHO) requirements to maintain operational readiness.
These regulations outline specific load bank testing procedures, including performance documentation across multiple load steps. Additionally, new EPA regulations now require emissions testing for diesel-powered generators under load conditions. Utilizing a load bank ensures compliance with these standards while assessing generator performance and emissions control.
