Load Bank Testing for Generators

Essential Service: Load Bank Testing for Generator Systems

At Propace Ingeniería, we perform load bank testing to ensure that your generator operates at full capacity when it is truly needed. NFPA 110 requires periodic full-load testing because operating a generator only at idle or light load can cause “wet stacking,” reducing power output and overall reliability. Our service accurately simulates your facility’s real electrical demand and confirms that the engine, cooling system, and alternator respond correctly under critical conditions.

Simplified Procedure: How Does the Test Work?

Load bank testing consists of applying a simulated electrical load to the generator using specialized equipment. The process includes:

• Connecting the load bank to the generator.
• Gradually applying load until reaching the required level (typically 100%).
• Monitoring essential parameters such as temperature, oil pressure, frequency, and voltage.

This allows us to diagnose the true condition of the system and ensure it is fully prepared for an emergency event.

Your Safety and Equipment in Expert Hands

All tests are carried out by certified technicians at Propace Ingeniería, using advanced equipment that guarantees accuracy and full protection of your generator. This service ensures compliance with NFPA standards and guarantees that your backup power system operates immediately, reliably, and safely during a power outage.
