Generator Load Bank Testing: The Steps

[@timbhuff]

Great video! I've worked for ASCO Power Technologies for years, and although generator technicians always performed the testing, I was there for maintenance, startups, repairs, and modification of all ASCO products. Avtron/ASCO builds superior products for all critical power applications. Nice work!

Great stuff! I noticed you didn't mention much about the percentage of the generator

Thank you.

If you have a facility that can not emergency power during the test, how do you connect the load bank without interrupting the back up power capability? Do you a hookup for this?

[@woodstockpowercompany1621]

You can use a bypass isolation transfer switch to accomplish that. In some cases, we bring a portable unit, and connect the site to that portable generator while we conduct the test.

Great stuff! I am new tech seeking training in Load banks? Do you guys offer training

[@Rustlaser]

We do not, but i can recommend a company based on your location!

Use apps very easy no burn or damage on system because VOLT, HZ and AMPS readed very well and tell which one have problem ❤

What is the best test ?

We recommend a minimum 2 hour load bank test as the best test to ensure your generator is running smoothly
