Water Load Accident ❌ Big Generator Load Trial 1010KVA | 4K

I appreciate greatly this kind of video showing the dangers of such maneuver. I’m not criticizing at all, actually this shows that the whole operation must be carried with more precautions. Thank you so much for posting this 👍🏻. Most people only show how to do it but it’s important to also address the possible problems. Thanks again from Mexico! 🇲🇽

That blue tank is maybe large enough for a 15kw unit for a short time.
You do not want the water boiling like that. With the water boiling like shown the plates can not stay 100% in contact with the water. The water is being blown away from the plates due to the boiling. Boiling allows air pockets Resulting in the fluctuating amperage.
Salt is not necessary if the tank is large enough. I did 2 such load bank jobs in a fresh water river.
Never remove the plates until the breaker is opened.
The separation of the plates needs to be much greater - we separated our plates about 16”.
Whoever was in charge should be fired - very dangerous setup.

480VX421A=202kW If that water barrel holds 190L at 20C° that means it will reach 100C° in about 5 minutes or about 1 minute at full power. That water resistor is way undersized. Also do not take out the electrodes with power on! that's why such thing happened.

That drum is way too small for the kind of power being dissipated. Way too much salt too.
Boiling that hard will further concentrate the salt causing a runaway condition. Essentially that’s what happened when they pulled the electrodes out. Very salty water dripping off close spaced electrodes caused the arcing. Extremely dangerous.
They need a tank of water about 10 times larger for a generator that size. And much bigger electrodes spaced at least 2-3 feet apart.

Sir kya bliss ka jo engine ata tha kirloskar electric dg set me bo engine achha hei long lasting hoga plz help kijiye mujhe me kharidna chata hun ek admi se isiliye ouch raha hunn engine kesa hei alternotr kesa hei 62 kva ka dg set hei plz reply

What happens when it arcs like that? Does the generator automatically switch off?

[bigmuller]

That is not a good way to do a load test
