4.5  FINAL CHECK 

 
Start the generator set and check that it reaches the set voltage and is stable. 
Test with various step loads within the limits of the generator and check that the voltage is stable with 
good transient response. 
Increase to full load and check that the alternator output remains at the 

Set Point

 and is stable. 

Check the droop, UFRO and external bias inputs as appropriate. 
Remove the load and stop the set.
