🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter I requirements for emergency power systems and generators • Difference between testing under load vs no load and why the Coast Guard cares • Frequency and minimum duration of operational tests for emergency generators

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: does the regulation focus on proving the generator can actually carry the emergency load, or just that it can start and run? • Think about how often a practical safety test would reasonably be required for a cargo vessel that is in regular service: every month, or every two months? • Consider whether a short run or a longer run would better show that the generator can reliably supply power over time.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR, Subchapter I the exact words about "operated under load" versus "operated without load" • Confirm the testing interval (monthly vs every two months) stated in the regulation, not from memory or other codes like SOLAS • Confirm the test duration in the regulation (one hour vs two hours) and match that to the option that also has the correct load/no‑load condition
