But I would like to point out, no one regularly runs their generators for 48+ hours as part of a normal test. In addition, most standby generators are fitted only for "limited" duration runs. You should expect problems during any extended run of a generator plant. I'm a bit surprised that 25 Broadway and 32 Old Slip are the only ones we've heard about.
Until I know a bit more about what happened, I can't say whether any alternative design could have performed better.
Hell yes. "Standby service" is a way different set of rating than "24x7".....
