| Essentially, diesel standby
generators need loading and exercising frequently to avoid
cylinder glazing, fouling of exhaust ports and excessive
oiling. Depending on the type of generator, minimum loading
on generators is specified by manufacturers to be in the
order of 35% to 50% of generator capacity. Higher loading
to 100% is advantageous for full performance testing, particularly
in essential service applications and in accordance with
World Standards. SEPHCO load banks provide the capacity to
meet acceptance, loading, testing and data recording requirements
for the following world standards of emergency and standby
power systems. European: ISO8528, IEC364-7-710, EN60034-9,
USA NFPA70, NFPA99, NFPA110. Exercising of generator sets
by utilizing building loads is generally impractical, due
to insufficient building load available, and the interruption
to the building operation. BL Series load banks are fan cooled,
totally weatherproof units, incorporating full stainless
steel resistors and corrosion proof housings. Safety features
include the SEPHCO Triple Interlock load protection system,
which guards against fan failure, air flow restriction, high
temperature and fan reversal. BL series load banks are supplied
as freestanding units incorporating switchgear and circuit
breaker protection for each load group. Controls include
remote touch-type operating panels. |
