Generator Maintenance/Load Bank Testing
Our Service Offerings
Comprehensive maintenance and testing of generators to ensure reliable backup power. We perform load bank testing to verify the performance and capacity of your generators.
VarcoMac's Generator Maintenance and Load Bank Testing services provide comprehensive care and performance verification for your emergency power systems, ensuring they'll function reliably when you need them most. Our specialized approach combines routine preventative maintenance with thorough load testing to confirm your generators can deliver their rated capacity during actual emergencies.
Our comprehensive generator services include:
- Routine Preventative Maintenance: We perform manufacturer-recommended service including oil and filter changes, coolant analysis and replacement, fuel quality verification, battery service, and mechanical inspections to prevent failures before they occur.
- Comprehensive Load Bank Testing: Unlike simple no-load tests, our load bank testing applies precise electrical loads to thoroughly evaluate your generator's performance under various load conditions, verifying it can actually deliver its rated capacity.
- Graduated Load Testing Protocols: We follow industry best practices with staged loading patterns that progressively increase load in precise increments, allowing proper engine conditioning and monitoring of performance at each stage.
- Extended Duration Testing: Our testing includes extended running periods at full load to verify sustained performance capabilities, identifying issues like cooling system limitations that only appear during prolonged operation.
- Performance Parameter Monitoring: Throughout testing, we continuously monitor critical parameters including voltage stability, frequency regulation, oil pressure, coolant temperature, exhaust temperature, and fuel consumption to identify any anomalies.
- Wet Stacking Prevention: For diesel generators, our load testing eliminates harmful unburned fuel accumulation (wet stacking) that occurs during no-load or light-load operation, improving reliability and extending engine life.
- Control System Verification: We thoroughly test generator control systems, automatic transfer switches, monitoring functions, and alarm systems to ensure complete emergency power system integration.
The VarcoMac difference includes our comprehensive documentation of all maintenance and testing, with detailed reports that provide important verification for regulatory compliance and insurance requirements. Our technicians are experienced with all major generator brands and models, ensuring proper service regardless of your equipment's manufacturer. With VarcoMac's generator maintenance and load bank testing services, you gain true confidence in your emergency power systems, knowing they've been properly maintained and thoroughly proven under load conditions that simulate actual emergency operations.
