Load Testing
Ensure Your Generator Performs When It Matters Most
Load testing is the most reliable way to verify that your generator can deliver its rated output under real operating conditions. Without regular load testing, a generator may appear to be functioning correctly during routine checks but fail to perform when called upon during a power outage or critical event.
At Macfarlane Generators, we offer comprehensive load bank testing services for generators of all sizes — from portable units through to large industrial and standby sets.
Our Load Testing Services
- Resistive and reactive load bank testing available

Detailed Reporting
Following every load test, we provide a comprehensive written report documenting performance data, test conditions, results and any recommended remedial actions. This documentation is valuable for compliance purposes, insurance requirements and planned maintenance programs.
Who Needs Load Testing?
Load testing is essential for data centres, hospitals, aged care facilities, commercial buildings and any organisation that relies on standby power for critical operations. We recommend testing at least annually, or after any major service or repair work.
