What’s a Kohler Electric Standby Generator ‘Exercise’?
This is a simple one! A Kohler Electric Standby Generator ‘Exercise’ is a regularly scheduled test of your generator that makes sure the generator is operating properly and makes sure the generator doesn’t suffer from any sort of preventable issue by having sat idle for excessive periods of time.
How often should an Exercise be performed on my Kohler Generator?
In most instances, how we program our generators to exercise is to run approximately 20 minutes, once every week. We set it to run what is known as an ‘unloaded full speed exercise.’ ‘Unloaded’ as in it doesn’t cause a transfer of power to your house like many older models did and ‘full speed’ as in a consistent rpm without any idling down.
But don’t worry, it would be set to run whenever you’d like it to. As a general rule, a generator should be exercised without a load between once a week and once a month. Testing with a load should be done on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Your generator’s exercise cycle may be automated by a timer, which ensures the generator is tested on a regular basis. Whether you rely on automation or manually exercise your generator, it should be completed under supervision. This way, if a problem is detected it can be remedied by in-house technicians or generator specialists as soon as possible, protecting you and your business in case of a true power outage.
