Maintain the health of your Diesel generating set

Most generators rarely get up to full load in everyday use and unburnt fuel and residue effects performance. Using a load bank provides supplemental load to burn off unburnt fuel and boost gen-set performance and reduce the negative effects of a light loading.

USING LOAD BANKS TO VERIFY ENGINE-GENERATOR PERFORMANCE
Diesel-powered generators are principal components in emergency backup power systems. Should they fail during an emergency, power for life-safety, generators critical, and operational loads could be disrupted. To ensure gen-sets perform as designed, periodic testing under load is required. This paper describes how load banks benefit backup power system testing programs.
