• Check fuel filter restriction if applicable. Replace filters if required

4. Generator Room

• Air intake/exhaust – Ensure nothing obstructs airflow; louvers are free and operate properly

5. Control Panel/Generator Cabinet

• Open all cabinets; remove panel covers to clean/inspect

• Clean dust and vacuum all the controls, meters, switching mechanism components, interior buswork, remote start control panel, annunciator, disconnect breaker and connecting lugs

• Inspect/Check buswork and supporting hardware for cracks, corrosion, or any type of deterioration

• Check all control wiring and power cables (especially wiring between or near hinged door) for sign of wear and deterioration. Secure and/or protect wiring and cables as required

• Check the cabinet interior for loose hardware – tighten connections

• Electrical Connections - Check tightness

• Clean and remove dust from panels

• Check for hot spots using non-contact temperature gun or IR camera

6. Grounding System Semi-Annual Inspection: Grounding, Bonding, and Objectionable

Current

• The Contractor shall inspect and verify proper grounding, bonding and neutral configuration of the generator installation per NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code)

Article 250 standards and applicable manufacturer instructions.

o All grounding, bonding, neutral-configuration, and objectionable-current checks shall be performed only within the training and qualifications of a generator technician, in accordance with site safety requirements. Work inside energized switchgear or beyond this scope shall be referred to appropriately qualified electrical personnel.

• Inspect accessible grounding and bonding conductors at the generator, generator-mounted junction boxes, and ATS enclosure exterior for damage, looseness, corrosion, or overheating; confirm generator frame and enclosure bonding is intact.

• Verify external bonding jumpers on the generator (enclosure sections, doors, bases, if provided) and visible ATS grounding/bonding connections and conduit fittings are present, tight, and undamaged.

• With the system energized and following safety procedures, use a clamp-on ammeter to check for objectionable current on accessible grounding/bonding conductors at the generator and ATS; report any sustained current that appears abnormal or any apparent shock hazard.

7. Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) - Basic Inspection

• Inspect seals

• Note date of last control battery change if applicable (Replace if 2 years or older)

• Check for hot spots using non-contact temp gun or IR camera

• Inspect/Check buswork and supporting hardware for carbon tracking, cracks, corrosion, or any type of deterioration

• Check all control wiring and power cables for sign of wear and deterioration

• Check for evidence of overheating contacts

• Exercise ATS (with prior COR approval):

o Electronic operation from normal source position to alternate source position and return to normal o Check ATS operation, calibrate and record time delays if necessary o Observe and record retransfer/cool down time

NOTE: The primary objective of this "test" is to exercise the moving mechanical parts of the

ATS which will seize if left in one position without regular operation.

8. Engine Control Module (ECM)

• Plug in OEM computer/diagnostic hardware if applicable

• Review fault history

• Download status report or similar depending on manufacturer to be submitted with report

• Clear non-critical fault codes after documentation

NOTE: Most modern engines utilize electronic controls which require proprietary OEM software to access parameters, replace control boards and perform diagnostic tests (e.g., CAT

ET, Cummins InPower).

9. Run Unit – No Load

• Run the generator with no load for 10 minutes

• Remote Start Panel - Inspect and test operation

• Check the generator for unusual conditions, such as: excessive vibration, leaks, smoke

• Verify all meters, gauges and indicators are normal and functioning properly

10. Run Unit – With Load

Start unit and run under load for minimum 2 hours at 75-80% of rated capacity:

• Unit should be run under facility load if COR authorizes to test and exercise entire system

• If facility load is not permissible or is not a minimum of 50% of rated capacity, the unit shall be exercised with a load bank to a minimum 75-80% capacity for 2 hours

NOTES:

• The only way to ensure your system functions and is available in the event of an outage is to perform a real load test with the facility

• Continual low or no-load running results in low pressures in the engine cylinders which do not allow the piston rings to seat resulting in oil entering the combustion chamber and exhaust tract. This is commonly referred to as "wet stacking" and can cause reduced capacity, equipment damage and premature failure

• Loading of the generator will ensure proper performance of cooling and ventilation systems and that unit can run for extended periods under load without overheating
