Exercise Generators with Load Testing
Just starting the engine and running it at the rated RPM is better than nothing at all, but you’re not building any horsepower.
What you have to do is actually put a load on the generator, that requires the transfer switch to shift from normal power to emergency power. That will interrupt all emergency circuits momentary, but it’s the best way to exercise the engine.
Wondering how often you should be exercising the engine on the generator? Learn how often you should exercise your generator online.
