Greetings,
As a rule we exercise our generator under load every Thursday at 1000hrs.
I would like to do this monthly but, the automatic exercise mechanism
cannot deal with 30 day intervals. In addition, once every 6 months, we
simulate a power outage by switching off and on the main breaker at the
service entrance durig a traffic lull period.
Cheers
