GENERATOR TESTING


Electrical testing of a generator involves assessing its performance, functionality, and safety. It is crucial to ensure that a generator operates correctly and can provide reliable power when needed. Here are some common tests performed on generators:

  1. Insulation Resistance  and Polarization IndexTest 

  2. Dissipation Factor or Insulation Power factor and Capacitance Test

  3. Partial Discharge Test: 

  4. ELCID 

  5. Wedge Tightness Test

  6. End-winding Bump Test

  7. Rotor Impedance Test

  8. Rotor Recurrent Surge Oscillography  

  9. Polarization and Depolarization Current Analysis

  10. Winding Resistance Test

It is important to note that electrical testing of generators should be carried out by qualified professionals who are knowledgeable about generator systems and safety procedures. The specific tests conducted may vary depending on the type and capacity of the generator, as well as any applicable industry standards or regulations.
