Measured Inputs

Calculated / Evaluated Results

Integrated systems testing convention: 25 / 50 / 75 / 100% steps with thermal stabilisation between steps. Transient limits come from the ISO 8528-5 class; the minimum exercise load follows NFPA 110 §8.4.2 (30% rated for 30 min).

Pending / Not tested — results stay neutral until valid measured values are entered.

  • Applied Step as % of Rating

    - %

    Not tested - enter the measured value. Acceptance: 30% <= Step Load <= 100% (110% max overload test); >= 30% prevents diesel wet-stacking [NFPA 110 §8.4.2 / ISO 8528-5]

    Pending

  • Transient Frequency Dip

    - %

    Not tested - enter the measured value. Acceptance: Class G2: +/-12% on a load step [ISO 8528-5 Table 4]

    Pending

  • Transient Voltage Dip

    - %

    Not tested - enter the measured value. Acceptance: Class G2: +/-20% on a load step [ISO 8528-5 Table 5]

    Pending

  • Frequency Recovery Time

    - s

    Not tested - enter the measured value. Acceptance: Class G2: recovery within 5 s [ISO 8528-5 Table 4]

    Pending

  • Full Load Duration

    - min

    Not tested - enter the measured value. Acceptance: NFPA 110 monthly exercise: >= 30% rated load for >= 30 min; acceptance tests commonly run 2-8 h at 100% [NFPA 110 §8.4.2 / IST convention]

    Pending

  • Thermal Stabilisation

    - degC

    Not tested - enter the measured value. Acceptance: Coolant temperature drift <= 2 degC over 15 min before stepping up [Commissioning convention]

    Pending

  • Maximum Alternator Winding Temperature

    - degC

    Not tested - enter the measured value. Acceptance: Winding temperature <= 155 degC (Class F continuous limit; Class H hotspot limit 180 degC) [IEC 60034-1 / NEMA MG-1]

    Pending
