Generator Testing and Health Checks

Generator Testing and Health Checks

Generator testing and health checks are essential for ensuring the reliable operation of uninterruptible power supply systems. These tests and checks are performed to verify the functionality and performance of the Generator and ensure its readiness to provide backup power during power outages or disruptions.

Here at Advanced Solutions, we are specialists in carrying out generator health checks so that we can gauge the condition of your UPS systems and their ability to perform when you need them most. 

A generator health check is an intelligent solution for any business with a generator that currently does not have a maintenance contract in place. Testing Generator health is a crucial part of making sure your system is not only working correctly, but that it is the best option technically and financially for your business.

During a generator health check, every aspect of your UPS system will be carefully analysed

Generator Testing

We will first carry out a thorough visual inspection to check for any physical damage, loose connections, leaks, or signs of wear and tear. This is followed by performing a load bank test to simulate the actual electrical load that the generator will experience during an outage. This test measures the generator’s ability to handle the expected load and determines if it can sustain the required power output for the specified duration. 

We will also test the UPS system’s batteries to evaluate their capacity and ability to hold a charge. This may involve conducting discharge tests to assess the runtime of the batteries under typical load conditions. Along with this, we also carry out comprehensive ATS testing. The ATS (automatic transfer switch) facilitates the transition between utility power and generator power, and we test it to ensure proper functionality and seamless switching between power sources.

Our tests are extremely thorough and leave no stone unturned so you can be sure that your Generator will perform should a crisis arise.

Generator Health Checks

Fuel health checks are a vital part of testing generators, and we inspect the entire fuel system, (including the fuel tank, filters and supply lines) to identify any issues that could affect the generator's performance or cause fuel contamination.

We also offer a fuel system cleaning and decontamination service which removes debris, dirt, water and other fuel contaminants to keep your systems functioning as faultlessly as you’d expect.

During a generator health check, the control panel of the Generator is also checked to ensure all indicators, alarms, and gauges are working correctly, and the system can be monitored and controlled effectively.  We provide comprehensive records of the tests and health checks are documented for future reference. Any deficiencies or corrective actions required are noted, and necessary repairs or maintenance tasks are scheduled.

Our team of trained engineers can play a crucial role in the ongoing maintenance of your generator system to ensure its reliability.
