I would definitely fill the filters since this engine runs to the moon as soon as its started

You kinda was tailgating that ford van in the outro

why are you using all those tiny-ass loads instead of one that’s appropriately sized for the generator? and why are you disconnecting the load feed versus having a set of lugs for load testing? how do you prove that wasn’t reconnected incorrectly?

I have herd that the commissioning of gas turbines is kind of fun to see, the load bank for a 9MW "black start turbine" filled a tractor trailer. But when I worked on simulating these I don't get to always see the real thing.

We all see you know what your doing and love watching it, please be more cautious dont wana sound like a broken record as plenty ppl have point out multiple times be safe bud! Love the vids

My electrician neighbor has said those Polaris connectors are intended to be installed only once in a permanent installation. Also, I worked at Simplex long ago, and they would not even fathom of building a switch gear or load bank setup without a test block to connect load testing equipment.

Being paid to test expensive items and being clear of any liability for it breaking is just about the perfect gig

If u have some spare time spend it to make a connection box for connecting and fuseing the loads. It may keep saveing your butt. I olso subscibe your chanel.

Hey man, don't forget familiarity breeds contempt, you got awfully close to that breaker and hooking things up without checking if they we're energized first, all it takes is one bad circuit - somewhere - and you'll be in a world of hurt.

worked at a few industrial sites by now. i never understood why there is no secondary feed or backup feed boxed installed with interlocked switches when the site goes to annual maintance to power cold rooms and such with external generators. and if there is a need to test a site installen genset, why there is no maintance terminals with an interlocked breaker?

Between the loaded coiled cables on the ground, not a single ground attached to the load banks, you almost touching the hot side of the breaker when you turned it on with unit running, constantly stepping on the energized cable’s, standing in front of a live uncovered breaker to take readings, Not very impressive work.

Why are you step loading one element at a time? I always try to hit it with 100% load acceptance within 10 seconds of engine start to provide a worst case test.

At 7:50 you had 13 inches gas pressure but you said it failed? What happened?

My only feedback is please try to remember when you are showing something to the camera to move slowly. It’s exceptionally difficult to see what you are trying to point out when the camera moves quickly. When I fist started learning this in my videos it was quite an adjustment to move comically slow so the camera could pick up what I was trying to show. Also, narrating what you are doing a little more would be helpful for those viewers not familiar with your industry. Otherwise good video. Thank you for sharing!

6:37 almost hurt..... 10:00 no checking with a meter is gonna hurt some day sir! Just found your channel and I love the content! Please slow down! There is nothing so important in life you can't take the time to do it safely! we need you around in this world and for the content!! Not trying to be that guy but i've seen some stuff my man!

I'm not an electrician, but at 6:37 when you closed the main breaker, it looks like your left hand got really close to the exposed live terminals on the top of the breaker?

Three rebars in a trash can full of water best load bank around lol. Only for a few seconds though.

Load banking is fun! But did I hear you say you hated Polaris connectors? You crazy? LOL They are the shit, in a great way! If they are all effed up buy some new ones but there is no better way to make up connections like that than a Polaris connector. And best practice, not sure if Polaris actually says it, but they are usually wired splitting the line and load. Like in your case bring in the source in the center port and have half the load on one side and the other half on the other side. That way you don't have the full amperage going across one spot. We'll even stagger them, line , load, line, load etc... Does it really matter, no idea but that's how everyone I know wires in Polaris connectors on high amp wiring. Back to load banking, I had to witness a load banking of a small genset here in Vietnam for a project I was part of a few weeks ago (video link below). I was expecting the small load banks like you had there. Nope, 55 gallon drum with copper electrodes, water and some salt. Crazy how little salt it took to bring the current up. With just tap water it would only pull 17A at 400V three phase (230/400V system here). Not even a handful of salt and the current jumped up surprisingly high for the little bit of salt he threw in there. I was told that set up was good for 60kW of load. It worked surprisingly well and was pretty controllable too. Stay safe. I have other gen videos too, from a 3.5MW EMD 710 V20 to a Cat 3516 1.4MW in Antarctica and a few others I have worked on too. Water tank load banking video I made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXq9k4iZnrGsjNk

You should wear the camera on your chest and point it towards the things you see your eye level, your constant head movement and the back forth between the load and gen doesn't really feel like watching and gives some motion sickness to the viewer, also make better use of another camera on a tripod to validate what is on another of the jig you are trying to demonstrate or show.... You will improve.....

So I'm not sure why your servicing this generator? Are you not changing oil? Was there an issue with it?

Was the customer around or something? Just bluetooth it from the truck. Wireless load testing is a big time saver.

Went here a few years ago but didn't walk the whole length of the tunnel.

No motorized vehicles are allowed on old Rail grade that is the Bike to Pike Abandoned PA Turnpike.

Great Video!

The Muskegon river,been there a few times,buy not those steps

Hey guys. I’m from northern Wi and would like to ride up into Mi. I just bought my first utv, a used one, and the previous owner (also from Wi.) has a current Mi pass on it. It’s obviously now registered in my name, but do I have to put my own Mi pass sticker on it? Or can I ride off his? Thanks.

Where was this recorded

Brings back some great memories from up north, thanks!

I really like this song, what is it??

Such a beautiful ambiance, gorgeous filming my friend!
