Does a employee have to be a 'QE' and in ppe to start up a generator online or off line? We test the gen with no load most of the time, sometimes with a load. Our plant has a 480v 4000a electrical service and the gen is about 1750kw, i believe. Thanks for the responses |

Is there an electrician (or QE) when the power goes out and the generator starts? What type of transfer exists? Fault currents/voltages? Typically most generators connections, transfer switches, buss bars, and the like all are in cabinets.. Unless you start your generator by taking all the doors off the gear, I would say no... Most "start" switches are usually on the front of the Generator Control Panel... This would be the same as turning on/off a light switch... Does your company ask an electrician to be present in the Electrical Rooms, when motors start in the MCCs? |

You should have basic training on the engine, check oil, water, battery, etc - but you don't need to be a Qualified Person to just start and run. |
