Sir,
During setting to work of a diesel gen set,normally 1meg,we had to test it to 110% overload.This was due to it was a warship and needed this capability.Obviously on the load bank we tested governor response,stability,droop factor,power factor etc.
The need to test it to 110% was the fact on a warship we need this capability, having many auto change over switches to keep our operating capacity to the full during any warfare action.Yes i have seen con rods coming out of crankcases and tappets burying themselves in the rocker covers,
Bill
