Load bank testing

Assess generator performance under controlled electrical load, with testing scoped to the machine.

Know how your generator performs under load

FW Power provides load bank testing for new and used diesel generators and installed standby power systems. A load bank allows the generator to be exercised under a controlled electrical load, helping assess its operation beyond an unloaded start and run.

What a test can assess

A planned test can check load acceptance, voltage and frequency behaviour, cooling performance and alarms while the generator supplies an agreed load. The test arrangement, load steps and duration depend on the equipment, its rating and the purpose of the test. Manufacturer limits must be observed.

Testing as part of preparation or maintenance

We load test used generators as part of preparation before dispatch. Owners can also arrange testing alongside a service or as a separate visit. Discuss witness testing and available test records with our team when arranging the work.

Arrange a load bank test

Provide the generator make, model, power rating, voltage, location and connection details. Tell us whether you need workshop testing, testing on site, a service visit or a customer witness test. We will confirm the practical requirements and scope before the work is booked.
