Another service offered by Wolter Power Systems is load bank testing. The purchase of a standby generator, or any emergency power supply, usually represents a fairly substantial initial capital investment. If the emergency power supply was to fail during the loss of normal power, the cost can often be far greater than just the inconvenience of being without electricity. Sometimes there are huge financial implications due to the loss of production, or even a threat to life safety, depending on the duty of the back-up power. For these reasons it is critical that every precaution be taken to ensure that the generator operates correctly, and as designed, should the need arise. By incorporating the use of a "load bank" as part of the initial generator start-up and the subsequent scheduled maintenance package, we can virtually guarantee its performance when called upon. A load bank is a self-contained, systematic device, designed to supply a controlled electrical load to a given power source. It allows the operator to accurately mimic the "real life" operational loads an emergency power supply, such as a standby generator, might experience during a loss of normal power (utility). By conducting a load bank test at generator start-up, the technician can confirm the equipment will perform, as designed, should the need arise. In some cases a load bank test may be required to satisfy certain local and national code authorities. The National Fire Protection Association, for example, maintains several standards that pertain directly to standby generators and automatic transfer switches. NFPA 110, the standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems, details three categories: class, type, and level. Each category must be defined in order to ensure the correct equipment is supplied and in compliance. A typical example would be the "minimum exhaust stack temperature" test, to prevent "wet stacking" (a condition where carbon and unburned fuel can collect in the exhaust system). This is a common requirement for diesel generators where wet stacking is of particular concern. Any reputable generator company will offer load bank testing as part of their regular service and will be familiar with common code requirements for emergency power systems. Standby generators can go months or even years without seeing a loss of "normal" power. When this is the case they rarely see any actual load and the equipment can suffer from lack of use. This is another reason why load banking should always be considered an integral part of the design, supply and maintenance of any emergency power system. |
