Load Bank Testing Services

Ensure your emergency generators perform at peak efficiency with professional load bank testing from Prime Power Generation Solutions. Proper testing not only verifies your generator’s capacity but also ensures compliance with NFPA 110 standards for emergency and standby power systems.

​

What is Load Bank Testing?

Load bank testing is the process of simulating real-world electrical loads to evaluate your generator’s performance under various conditions. This essential procedure identifies potential issues before they become critical, helping to maintain reliable power for commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, data centers, and industrial sites.

Load bank testing verifies:

• Generator capacity under full and partial loads

• Proper operation of transfer switches and controls

• Compliance with safety and performance standards

​

NFPA 110 Compliance

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) sets safety and performance standards for emergency power systems. NFPA 110 ensures that buildings and facilities have a reliable backup power source when the primary power fails. Compliance with these standards is critical for:

• Safety of building occupants

• Reliability of emergency power systems

• Preventing costly downtime

​

Note: Prime Power Generation Solutions follows NFPA 110 guidelines during all load bank testing procedures.

Load Bank Testing Procedures

Monthly Load Bank Testing

• Test generators under available building load for at least 30 minutes

• Ensure minimum exhaust gas temperature or 30% of nameplate kilowatt rating

Annual Load Bank Testing

• For generators failing monthly tests, perform a two-hour load bank test:

  • 25% load for 30 minutes

  • 50% load for 30 minutes

  • 75% load for 60 minutes

Triennial Load Bank Testing

• Diesel-powered emergency generators tested every 36 months

• Four continuous hours:
