NHS England HTM 06-01 Electrical Services Supply and Distribution (2017 Edition) 9.28-9.44: Generator operating mode chosen to allow on-load testing (island, short-term or long-term parallel)

Each configuration gives different testing opportunities. For island-mode sets, the implications of being unable to test in parallel with the DNO should be considered: unsupported circuits may have to be turned off during on-load tests, so load bank testing is the alternative, and tests and mains restoration will need a short break unless a no-break return is designed in. Parallel operation with the PES must comply with ENA G59/3-2: short-term parallel (1 to 5 minutes, with DNO approval) allows a no-break return to mains; long-term parallel allows testing on the real supported load without any break. Best practice is to allow long-term parallel operation; where generators can parallel with the PES, neutral-earth switching contactors should be included. Parallel operation is acceptable for all risk categories provided high-risk areas have an intermediate UPS. Sets above 20 kV or 5 MW should comply with G.75/1.
