Sad that the little Telcove DC here in Lancaster, PA, that Level3 bought a few months ago, has weekly full-on generator tests where 100% of the load is transferred to the generator, while apparently large DCs that are charging premium rates, do not.Perhaps they do. Wouldn't have mattered in this case if the big-red-button rumor is real. ;-)
Also, doing a "full-on generator test where 100% of the load is transferred" is not always the best option. Unneeded usage of VRLA's only shortens their lives.
