CAUTION
Do not exceed 125 percent of
rated load.
(e)
Hold the conditions in step (c)
above for two minutes. However, if
the voltage and frequency cannot
be maintained within 1 percent of
their rated values, the load must be
adjusted to the point at which the
voltage and frequency can be
maintained within 1 percent of their
rated values for two minutes.
CAUTION
It may be necessary to reduce the
load to a value below the rated
kilowatt load for a short period of
time to prevent serious over-
heating
or
damage
to
the
generator
set
if
the
above
conditions
cannot
be
readily
attained. (Monitor instrumen-
tation.)
(f)
During the two minute period record
all instrument readings including
thermal and pressure instrumenta-
tion. (On 3-phase sets it is not
necessary
to
record
line-to-line
voltages).
(g)
Reduce the load to rated kilowatt
load and allow the generator set to
cool for 10 minutes.
(h)
Repeat steps (d) through (g) above
until three valid sets of maximum
power data are obtained.
