Resistance load bank testing is a top priority in power generation management. There is no more efficient way to confirm proper repairs, maintenance, or generator rental services than by testing your equipment with load banks. However, there are additional reasons to conduct these tests.
WHY CONDUCT LOAD BANK TESTING?
Here are some of the reasons we recommend performing these tests:
COST SAVINGS. By simulating daily operations, it is possible to observe how the overall system will react. Any existing issues can be detected early, leading to less expensive repairs. Additionally, timely adjustments prevent future problems that could result in greater-than-expected investments.
SAFETY. Testing allows for the detection of faults through simulation, resulting in increased safety during regular operations—not just for the processes but also for the operators. The goal of safety in all industries is to protect the integrity of the workers. Load bank testing makes this possible. It is better to fail during a test than during regular operations, as the cost is always lower.
CAPACITY VERIFICATION. Load bank testing allows for the verification of generator capacities by utilizing 100% of the power. This will help determine if the evaluated unit meets the required specifications or if adjustments are necessary. This is especially important in industries where unexpected and/or emergency situations may arise, where a reliable power supply is critical. The cooling systems of the engine are also checked to ensure they will function properly under load during active periods.
SUPPORT FOR MAINTENANCE TASKS. When our team performs maintenance tasks, they recommend implementing load bank tests. These tests help determine the current condition of the equipment and allow for predictions of when future preventive maintenance will be needed.
In the case of corrective maintenance, testing can determine the extent of the damage and identify areas that require repairs.
