To all who have given advice on the question posed, I have been load testing generators for over twenty years and had never heard of the 1.39 method. mainly because all the generators I have load tested are of the 200V 400 hz type ie for aircraft use. I would like to thank you all especially...
When using a purely resistive loadbank how do you calculate the load current. This is to load check lets say a 100KVA generator at 0.8 powerfactor. this is how i thought it was done
kva = kw/pf therefore if the powerfactor was at unity then 100kva = 100kw therfore the generator would be...
