STANDBY POWER - FORGOTTEN ABOUT UNTIL IT FAILS WHEN YOU NEED IT
Generators and Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS's) are usually function checked once a month. Sometimes actual load does not shift over to emergency power. The generator is just test started to make sure it runs.
The "whole" system needs to be checked to ensure that when called upon, it will perform to your satisfaction. We have a series of tests that we can perform on these types of systems to ensure this fact for you. Some of these tests include 100% rated load banks, Doble power factor testing, relay calibration, and mechanical vibration analysis.
Battery and UPS systems need to be maintained as well. A deteriorated battery can drag down a system and cause the amp-hour rating to drop significantly. The NETA approved tests would reveal these types of problems.
