During thisperiod, reading of all instrumentsincluding thermal instrumentationshall be recorded at minimumintervals of 10 minutes. Ifnecessary, adjustments to the load,voltage and rated frequency may bemade to maintain rated load atrated voltage and rated frequency.However, adjustments to thevoltage and frequency shall belimited to those adjustmentsavailable to the operator.Specifically adjustments so thevoltage or frequency adjust devices.No other adjustments to the voltageand frequency control systemsshould be made. Adjustments tothe load, voltage, or frequencycontrols shall be recorded on boththe data sheet and recordingchart(s). Stabilization will beconsidered to have occurred whenfour consecutive voltage andcurrent recordings of the exciterfield either remain unchanged orhave only minor variations about anequilibriumconditions with noevident continued increase ordecrease in value after the lastadjustment to the load, voltage, orfrequency has been made.(c)Perform this test using resistiveload only. Remove reactive loadafter stabilization.(d)Alternately increase the load,voltage and frequency in smallincrements until the fuel systemcontrols are in the maximum fuelposition as permitted by thegovernor control linkage and thevoltage and frequency are within 1percent of their rated values.NOTESmall increments should be takento avoid passing the maximumpower at the rated voltage andfrequency point and to avoidracing and bogging the engine.16-21
