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 ?
