a. Test.
(1) Attach a variable load to output terminals
and start the generator set.
(2) Move circuit breaker to ON position and
observe load meter and voltmeter. Reading at redline
on load meter is 100% load. Circuit breaker should
stay on indefinitely under 100% load.
(3) Adjust variable load until load meter reads
in red portion of load meter. Circuit breaker should
trip when indicator enters red portion of load meter.
(4) If circuit breaker trips below maximum load
(100% of 0.8 PF), (Power Factor), replace the circuit
breaker.
