Generators are designed to create electricity. The following is the conversion of mechanical work to electricity by taking the electric current produced and analyzing it using the tools of measurement for electricity (Voltage V, and Frequency HZ). To determine if a generator is functioning at its fullest capacity, you should investigate the load. To do this, test if engine will be able to produce sufficient horsepower to pull the full rated load.
To check the efficiency of a generator thoroughly, you must skilfully record the results of connecting a resistor to the generator while maintaining safe operation.

It is possible to correct the frequency and voltage of a generator during routine generator maintenance and servicing. However, the power generator should be considered as it is of utmost importance. Even if the generator is regularly tested and appears to work without any problems, load bank testing is strongly advised to make sure that generator's load is proper.
