Discuss Testing of generators in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

S

sparks will fly

After some advice and opinions please.
An installation I have just tested also has generator back up. To what extent would you go with the testing when the installation is on genny supply. Would you re test every circuit that the generator supplies, or be happy that if the zs of the generator is adequate at the mains changeover, then all circuits should be ok.
