Generator Testing Checklist for Installers

Generator Testing Checklist

 

1- Test the generator with the PV and Grid off, and the battery SOC the same as (lower SOC limit).

          • Monitor voltage, frequency, and power.

  • System reading voltage ………………………. L1-L2 =        V to    V
  • Multimeter reading voltage …………………. L1-L2 =       V to    V
  • System reading frequency ………………         Hz to         Hz
  • Multimeter reading frequency ………..           Hz to     Hz
  • Load Power …………………………………           Kw
  • Battery Power………………………………           Kw
  • Gen Power……...…………………………..           Kw

          • Verify wiring that is polarized? ………………………… Y/N

          • Check if the generator has a breaker correct? ……    Y/N

          • Check dry contacts, are they good? ……………….    Y/N

          • Check Power Duty ……………………………………….             .    

          •  Passed the test with the PV and Grid turned off?           .

2- Test the exercise function with different intervals and durations.

         • Reading with 5 min interval ................................         .

         • Reading with 10 min interval …..………………………        .

         • Reading with 15 min interval …..………………………         .  

         • Monitoring voltage, frequency

  • System reading voltage …………………. L1-L2 =          V
  • Multimeter reading voltage ……………. L1-L2 =      V
  • System reading frequency………..         .Hz  to       .Hz
  • Multimeter reading frequency…..          .Hz  to           . Hz

       • Passed the exercise test?......................................            .
