You might never think about it until it's too late, but Load Bank Testing on a regular basis goes a long way in saving you money. Here are the top six reasons you should safeguard your system with Load Bank Testing with Arizona Generator, Inc.
1. By actually drawing power from the generator, the load bank tests your system's capability without interrupting standard utility services to your facility.
2. The test is the only sure way to tell if your system is capable of handling the load that is required of it.
3. The test expels moisture and cleans carbon deposits out of the exhaust system and turbochargers.
4. Load bank testing can also help in situations where "wet stacking" is evident, by fully loading the engine.
5. This test exercises your generator. Standard exercising, starting the unit and running the motor with no load transfer, only exercises the motor. Load banking is the only true way to exercise the entire generator system.
6. This test is required by law in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association code 110, "Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems" where life saving electrical power needs are involved.
