How Often Should I Exercise the Diesel Generator?

  • 2020-11-11
Typically, a generator should run without load once a week to once a month, while load testing should be performed monthly or quarterly.

To ensure optimal standby generator performance and reliable operation when you need it most, always consult the manufacturer’s guidelines. Depending on generator application, local codes, and site-specific demands, routine generator exercise is essential for proper maintenance.

This routine is necessary because generator testing involves two modes: no-load operation and load bank operation. Operating under load prepares the generator system and supporting electrical components for emergency power outages. In addition, running a generator under load for an extended period prevents wet stacking and harmful moisture accumulation.

A generator exercise cycle can be programmed to run automatically via a timer to maintain a consistent testing schedule. Whether you use automatic transfer controls or manual start procedures, testing should always be supervised. This allows qualified technicians or generator specialists to address any emerging issues promptly, safeguarding your facility and business continuity during an actual outage.

When a generator operates in areas with unstable or insufficient utility power, dependence on the generator set increases significantly. Routine exercise cycles are less critical for generators that already run frequently to supply prime or extended power. In such scenarios, conducting regular inspections and preventative maintenance checks is vital to keep the genset fully operational and ready to run.
