We have a emergency generator that has been not functioning right when needed, it fails to supply power on utility loss.
Can a gen be tested for an output[480v 1000kw] without being connected to a switchgear ? We need to know if its capable of suppling power in place of utility loss. There is no transferswitch or load bank. Gen gets started offline without a load but that does not help us .
Can gen people disconnect gen from incoming power to test it [confirm it can supply power] while we are not removed from the utility ?
We realize that all the sensors and relays are inside switchgear ,can most of them be installed inside a control panel mounted remotly from swichgear ?
Sorry for all the questions but we like to have know some options before calling a contractor to look into this, none of us have this kind of expirience.
Thank you for your help.
