Was this unit tested regularly? With a load bank?

If there was a weekly test run, why wasn't this problem caught?

It seems like there's a lesson to be learned here.

My guess is that many sites' idea of a periodic test is to fire up the 
generator (without a load) for 5 or ten minutes and assume everything's ok.

How many folks actually perform a load transfer to the generator during
testing to check out the transfer switch ?
