A project was initiated in the summer of 2017 to upgrade the primary electric utility that services the ship and improve the main electrical distribution on the vessel. The project also called for the installation of an emergency diesel generator with an automatic transfer switch that has the capacity to run critical pumps on board in the event of a power outage.

The equipment used to perform a load bank test produces an artificial load on the generator by bringing the engine to an appropriate operating temperature. The key to a proper test is that your generator must be tested at its full output rating.

McVicar Lift Station is required to have emergency backup power. A lift station, or pump station, is used for pumping wastewater or sewage from a lower to higher elevation, and without power, a sewage backup could happen.
