Five years is long time but we made it
47 hours on the clock, all monthly tests, never carried actual load
Keep it that way too, my little insurance pet
Going to crack open the cerveja now, that is for sure

Specs for the curious: 150kva cummins, runs on diesel, lives in the shed behind the facility

Who else own the equipment they afraid to use?

The generator red is beautiful! I have one the machine old too, server the backup never fails

You did test the load bank real? Is important the test real! Not only the button press and hope

You have luck, the hours 47 is number the angel almost

Which Cummins series, the C or the QSK?

47 hours in five years? That's barely broken in.

No logs, no proof. I have logs.
