An interesting document - Generator Set Durability Testing

[Light in the Dark]

Just stumbled upon it... interesting reading if anyone is interested in the nuts and bolts of testing on these sets.

A wealth of information, Thanks for posting it.

Yeah, that's an interesting document that I also ran across and posted here several years ago that's apparently long buried by years of posts or wasn't retained with the switch to the new website software. Good that you also ran across it and reposted it!

While living in San Antonio a coworker, who was a Mechanical Engineer where I worked, later went on to work at SWRI. He said they do a lot of very interesting research and have a lot of resources at their disposal.

As a MEP-803a owner, this was my favorite part: "It may be noted that the 10kW and 30kW generators were operated with relative ease. Those were the only generator types which experienced no major problems while on test."

I found it odd that they skipped the 5KW models.
