Ensure Peak Performance with Professional Generator Testing
Comprehensive Generator Performance Testing & Upgrades
When your generator is the only thing standing between you and a power outage, it needs to work flawlessly. That’s where our testing and diagnostic services come in.
At SGH, we help you catch issues before they cause failures. Our team runs detailed checks on performance, load capacity, fuel quality, and system pressure to make sure your generator does what it’s supposed to — every time.
Routine diagnostics to prevent unexpected breakdowns
Load testing to confirm backup power capabilities
Fuel and emissions testing to meet compliance
Hydrostatic and pressure tests to ensure system integrity

Diesel Generator Load Testing – Real-World Power, Real Confidence
Will your generator hold up when it matters most? Load testing gives you the answer. We simulate real demand to make sure your generator can deliver power under pressure — safely and consistently.
- Full-capacity load bank testing up to 500kVA
- Identify weak points before they become failures
- Ideal for backup systems in homes, businesses, and industrial sites
Fuel Testing – Keep Your Generator Running Clean & Efficient
Poor fuel quality can shut down even the best generator. We test for contamination, water build-up, and ageing fuel — issues that silently damage your system over time.
- Diesel fuel sampling and analysis
- Recommended for generators in storage or backup use
- Helps prevent clogs, misfires, and early wear
Hydrostatic & Pressure Testing – Safety You Can Rely On
Leaks and pressure drops are more than inconvenient — they’re dangerous. Our hydrostatic and pressure testing helps spot hidden faults in fuel lines, cooling systems, and valves before they cause harm.
- High-pressure testing for cooling and fuel circuits
- Essential for commercial and industrial generator compliance
- Accurate results with digital pressure monitors
Emissions Testing – Stay Compliant, Cut Costs
Emissions testing isn’t just about meeting regulations — it’s about running cleaner and saving money. We assess exhaust output to help reduce fuel use and environmental impact.
- On-site testing for NOx, CO, and particulate levels
- Required for many large commercial and industrial setups
- Helps improve efficiency and meet audit requirements
Advanced Generator Diagnostics – Identify & Fix Problems Early
When your generator starts acting up, guessing won’t cut it. Our advanced diagnostics help pinpoint exactly what’s going wrong — fast. Whether it's uneven output, strange noises, or system warnings, we’ll track the issue to its source and get it fixed.
-
3-Phase Generator Testing – Balanced, Stable Power
If your generator powers a three-phase setup, any imbalance can lead to serious inefficiencies — or damage. Our 3-phase testing ensures even distribution and smooth performance across all loads.
- Prevent overheating and equipment wear
- Verify stability for sensitive commercial systems
- Great for factories, data centres, and remote operations
-
Load Test Power Factor – Maximise Efficiency, Minimise Waste
Running inefficiently? We test your generator’s power factor under real load conditions to see how well it handles the job. This helps you avoid energy waste, penalties, and performance issues.
- Diagnose lagging or leading power factor
- Adjust generator settings for better output
- Recommended for long-term cost savings
-
Power Generation Equipment Testing – Beyond the Generator
A reliable power system includes more than just the generator. We test key components like alternators, control panels, and voltage regulators to ensure your full system is ready when needed.
- Complete system health check
- Identify early signs of wear or faults
- Prevent costly failures across your setup
Choosing the Right Testing & Diagnostic Service
Key Factors in Generator Testing & Diagnostics
Not all testing is equal — and not every generator setup has the same needs. Whether you’re running a small backup unit or a full commercial power system, here’s what to think about before booking your next test:
Load Testing:
Can your generator actually handle a real power outage? Load testing simulates the pressure so you know where you stand.
Fuel Quality:
Old, contaminated, or waterlogged fuel is one of the top causes of generator failure. A quick test could save you thousands.
Compliance Requirements:
Many industries need regular emissions and performance checks. We’ll help you stay audit-ready and meet all regulations.
System Integrity:
Pressure and hydrostatic testing help spot leaks and system weaknesses — especially important for high-pressure fuel or cooling lines.
Not sure what kind of test you need? We’ll talk you through it and tailor the right solution.
