NHS England HTM 06-01 Electrical Services Supply and Distribution (2017 Edition) 17.87-17.91: Annual 110% load engine condition test of at least three hours with safety chain tests

Maintenance programmes should include an annual longer test proving engine condition up to 110% of full load for not less than 3 hours and ideally 4. During it the safety chain should be tested: operate the overspeed governor, simulate over-temperatures to check alarms and action, and force the fuel rack off to check automatic shutdown; these tests should not be done when only one generator is running (island or parallel). A safety document or sanction for test may be needed for any secondary supply test.

  • 8.4.9 8.4.9 Level 1 36-month test

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
