Specification Checklist Before You Sign
- Frequency and voltage — 50 Hz or 60 Hz confirmed against site standard; transformer and switchgear implications mapped.
- Continuous vs standby rating — duty language that matches how the plant will actually run (baseload, peaking, bridge, or emergency).
- Load-bank duration and steps — stepped load to rated, soak periods, recorded oil and coolant temperatures, and any trip events.
- Alternator and AVR behaviour — voltage recovery after step loads; harmonic and power-factor context for industrial or mining motors.
- Control and protection — OEM or upgraded panel; protection settings recorded; synchronising capability if multi-unit.
- Fuel system cleanliness — filters, day tanks, and contamination history that survive frontier logistics.

How USP&E Embeds Load Proof in EPC Commissioning
Buying a load-bank-tested package is necessary but not sufficient. Plant commissioning still needs site load banks, protection proving, and performance verification under the real BOP. USP&E’s power plant EPC projects list load-bank and protection proving inside commissioning scope — single-point accountability from civil through energisation. That is Extreme Ownership applied to surplus fleets: the same team that helps you select inventory can own the station that results.
