source and any devices that are attached to the line voltage electrical systems are properly connected and in
working order.
The prime mover shall be started from a cold start condition and the line voltage electrical system loaded to
100 percent of the nameplate rating.
The following information shall be recorded:
(1) The cranking time until the prime mover starts and runs, if applicable
(2) The voltage, frequency, and amperes at continuous full rated load
(3) The prime mover oil pressure, water temperature, transmission temperature, hydraulic temperature, and
the battery charge rate, as applicable
(4) The ambient temperature and altitude
The power source shall be operated by the apparatus manufacturer at 100 percent of the systems continuous
rated wattage as specified on the Power Source Specification Label for a minimum of 2 hours. Testing with a
resistive load bank shall be permitted. The conditions specified in 21-14.4.1(2) and (3) shall be recorded at
least every 1/2 hour during the test.
If the apparatus is equipped with a fire pump, this 2-hour test shall be completed with the fire pump pumping
at 100 percent capacity at 150-psi (1035 kPa) net pump pressure. The 2-hour test shall be permitted to be run
concurrently with the pump certification test required in 14-13.1.
Where the line voltage power is derived from the vehicles low-voltage system, the minimum continuous
electrical load as defined in Chapter 11 shall be applied to the low-voltage electrical system during the
operational test. Any termination of line voltage power by the low-voltage load management system shall be
noted, and the duration of the periods of line voltage power source shutdown shall be recorded.
Vehicle support systems that are required to maintain the power source in operation shall remain within their
required operational parameters.
The results of the tests listed in this section shall be supplied to the purchaser at the time of delivery.
LOAD CENTER PANEL
A Square D Homeline circuit breaker panel shall be provided in the apparatus body. All breakers shall be
properly labeled. The generator shall be hard wired to the circuit breaker panel. The circuit breaker panel
shall be mounted so as to not interfere with shelves or trays, if specified. The load center panel cover shall
be accessible with hand tools.
The load center panel mounting location shall be in the L1 compartment.
WEATHER RESISTANT TUBING
The AC wiring in the apparatus body shall be installed in seal tite weather resistant conduit.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Manual reset 120-volt AC circuit breakers shall be provided in the load center as required by the circuits
installed by the apparatus manufacturer.
