Load Bank Testing

Broadcrown Power Engineering offers in-house Load Bank Testing – providing our customers with a more cost-effective solution than ever before. As part of routine maintenance, it is recommended Generators are run to full capacity, at least annually, for a period, to confirm operation.

Having your generator equipment load bank tested, ensures that it’s ready to perform as expected in an emergency. It is also recommended to power an idle standby generator to ensure it starts when needed and to increase its life.

What does a Load Bank test involve?

Load banks provide electrical test loads for commissioning and maintenance of power systems. When a load bank test is conducted, a generator is run with a mock electrical load. The load is gradually increased over time to assess the alternator and engine performance and to determine if the generator will respond when called upon.

A load bank test is also recommended to power an idle standby generator to ensure it starts when needed and to increase its life.
