I just got a call from a building owner that has indicated that when he tests his generator once a month he transfers the building over to emergency power and is having a lot of problems with burning up ballasts & electric resistance heating coils.
I have a meeting scheduled at the site at 1:00 PM today to meet with the building owner and the electrician to figure out why this is happening.
My theory is that they are loosing their neutral when they switch to emergency power. (I am not sure if this is a 3 pole or 4 pole transfer switch. I assume it is a 4 pole transfer switch)
I was curious if anyone else had run into this problem. And if there is any other explanation for this.
