Any voltage source, whether a generator or a battery, will NOT supply an output current unless it is connected to a load. So the only way to test the output current is by connecting it to a load.

Theory for load test on dc shunt generator?
load test on dc shunt generator is a test to plot the internal and external characteristics of the generator.
What is needed to perform a no-load bench test?
A bench and no load! Whatever you are testing has no load. It might be a generator or a motor for example. If a motor it wouldn't be connected to anything. If a generator it would have nothing plugged in.
Short Circuit test of a Synchronous Generator?
synchronous generator
How do you test generator reverse power?
To test the generators reverse power relay to make sure the generator is spinning at the right speed and a fuel issue is not involved. If it is not a fuel issue you need to check the frequency of the electronic load and frequency. If both of these issues are okay check the diesel electronic control unit for dirt and dust. This unit needs to be clean.
What is meant by swin burn test in dc shunt generator?
in swin burn test we find out the copar loses & iron loses of the dc generator
Theory for load test on dc shunt generator?

What about the load test on dc series generator?

What is the difference between full load amps and running load amps?
Full load amps is the maximum rated amps that the motor should draw according to its nameplate rating. Running load amps is the actual amperage the motor is drawing at that point in time when the test is taken. Some motor loads vary depending on if the load is cyclic. The reading on this type of motor would be from no load amps to full load amps.
How many amps does an alternator for a 2005 Buick Lesabra have?
Rated output 135 amp, load test output 94 amp - this is assuming stock alternator, replacement alternators vary as some rebuilders mix and match parts...
When using a resistive load bank to test a generator do you load it to the kW or the kVA?
When using a resistive load bank to test a generator, it does not matter if you load the generator to its kW or kVA rating, because those two numbers are the same when considering a resistive load. Power factor, which is the difference between true and apparent power, only comes into play when there is a reactive (inductive or capacitative) load.

How can you test a generator to make sure it is putting out the correct amps this question refers to stand by generator for the home. do u use the same tool referred in answer?
There is a tool you can get at the autoparts store, like Napa. It plugs into the output and tells you where everythings at. I forget what it's called though, sorry.
When using an external resistive load bank to test an engine driven generator do you load it to kVA or KW?
It does not matter, when testing a generator with a resistive load bank, if you load it to kVA or KW. For a resitive load, i.e. non-reactive load, the power factor is one, so kVA and kW are the same.
How to removed a dc offset from the output of a frequency generator connected to a test circuit?
Run the test signal through a small isolation transformer.
My engine won't turn over in cold weather what should I do?
Check your Battery by doing a load test. If it passes a load test, you should check the starter to see how many amps it is drawing! Ranges vary on a battery load test depending on temperature. Usually if it goes below 9.6 volts at a room temp. or a bit colder, the battery has failed. I think a good starter should draw approximately 250 - 300 Amps.
What if your generators output is 127 252 volts . Is it ok for temp power?
You will probably find that 127/252 is the no load voltage, when you plug a tester into the sockets of the plugs on the generator. If you have the ability to test the voltage with the load plugged in you should find that the voltage has dropped to a more standard 120/240 or 115/230. Yes it is OK for temporary power.
