Fact check: What are the changes for load banking generators by L&I

Checked on September 11, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided do not specifically address changes for load banking generators by L&I [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. However, they discuss the importance of load bank testing for generators, including monthly exercising under load for at least 30 minutes and annual or tri-annual load bank testing if the generator does not reach 30% load during the monthly test [1]. The sources also emphasize the importance of compliance with NFPA 110 for ensuring the reliability of emergency power systems [3] [1]. Key points include the need for regular load bank testing, the importance of compliance with NFPA 110, and the benefits of testing for generator reliability and safety [1] [4] [5].

  • The analyses highlight the importance of load bank testing for various industries, including the use of resistive, inductive, and capacitive load banks [2].
  • They also discuss the process and benefits of load bank testing, including compliance and safety considerations [4].
  • The sources provide information on NFPA 110 compliance for emergency power systems, including load testing requirements [1].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original statement lacks specific context regarding the changes for load banking generators by L&I, which is not addressed by any of the analyses [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Alternative viewpoints that could provide more insight into the topic include:

  • The perspective of L&I on the changes for load banking generators, which could provide more specific information on the topic (not mentioned in any of the analyses).
  • The impact of load bank testing on generator reliability and safety, which could be further explored [1] [4] [5].
  • The benefits and challenges of implementing load bank testing for various industries, which could provide more context on the topic [2].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be misleading as it implies that there are specific changes for load banking generators by L&I, which is not supported by the analyses [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. The sources provided do not mention any changes by L&I, which could indicate a lack of information or bias in the original statement. The beneficiaries of this framing could be:

  • Individuals or organizations seeking to emphasize the importance of load bank testing for generators, without providing specific context on the changes by L&I [1] [4] [5].
  • Those who may be promoting NFPA 110 compliance for emergency power systems, without addressing the specific changes for load banking generators by L&I [3] [1].
