Summary
To verify full load generator operating characteristics,
testing at full rated kW and power factor is required.
Project specifications should include the specific
reference to NFPA for full load testing. Generator
manufacturers that conduct factory production testing
at full load and rated power factor should be allowed to
run the field acceptance tests at full rated load at unity
power factor.
For additional technical support, please contact your
local Cummins Power Generation distributor. To locate
