Application Manual – Liquid Cooled Generator Sets<br />

• Check the operation of the main generator circuit breaker (if used) by manually operating<br />

it. Test the trip unit according to the manufacturer’s instructions.<br />

• If the set is normally exercised at no–load or carries only light loads, run the generator<br />

set for at least three hours, including one hour at near rated load.<br />

• Conduct generator insulation tests annually throughout the life of the generator set.<br />

Initial tests done before final load connections are made will serve as benchmarks for<br />

annual tests. These tests are mandatory for generator sets rated above 600 VAC.<br />
