BCPML recently carried out commissioning works on a generator serving a telecoms superhighway site in Frankfurt.
The brief was simple. Prove the generator can take the site load if mains power is lost. No assumptions, no paperwork exercises, just evidence that it will do the job when required.
The generator was run on a load bank for an hour, with the load stepped through different levels. This allowed us to see how the system behaved as demand changed, rather than only testing it at a single point. Response, stability and consistency were all checked during the run.
This type of testing also gives confidence beyond today’s requirements. If the site load increases in future, there is already a clear picture of how the generator will cope.
With commissioning and testing complete, the system is now confirmed as ready to support the site during a power failure. The process removed uncertainty and replaced it with data and real performance.
For telecoms infrastructure, that matters. Power resilience is not something you assume is in place. It has to be proven under load, in real conditions, before it is trusted.
