2MW Diesel Generator Test

[JCAUPS1]

In a commercial application is there a way to test the functionality of a ATS without affecting the critical load?

[bdosborn]

Yes, get a closed transition transfer switch. Its a make-before-break transfer so you can switch loads without a bump.

all I have to say about the failure pictures is Houston We Have a Problem.

1:40 the best generators there are ATLAS COPCO QAS338

What caused the failure in the 1st place?

[bdosborn]

Never found out why. It was a brand new alternator too.

I have 4 x 11kv 1.25Mva sets at my work place. I hope they dont do this!!!

[bobbj77]

thats a serious gen set, is it a 400 volt set?

[bdosborn]

480V

So what does this company do? Looked like a generator farm from that last wide angle shot.

[bdosborn]

They sell generators.
