• 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
• Performing a load bank test in addition to the facility load will also exercise and verify operation of post load bank
During Load Test:
• Automatic Start/Stop – Inspect
• Check louvers, shutters and room exhaust fans for proper operation
• Generator Set Vibration – Inspect
• Read and record all key performance indicators from gauges/meters/ECM:
o Ambient Temperature o Coolant Temperature o Oil Pressure o DC Voltage o Frequency (HZ) o Amps (A/B/C phases) o Volts (AB/BC/CA) o Volts Phase-Neutral (A/B/C) o Power Factor (PF) o KW output o % of Capacity o Fuel Consumption at this load
• Record Alternator bearing temperatures
• Check exhaust for excessive black or white smoke
• Check turbocharger for vibrations or any abnormal noise during operation
• Check generator bearing for noise and overheating
• Check exhaust manifold, flexible exhaust, muffler, and piping for leaks and secure mountings
• Check Crankcase breather/Blow By
• Check/service air filter
• Record time delays:
o Time delay to start o Time delay to emergency power o Time delay to normal power o Engine cool down time
11. Post-Service Activities
