7.1.2 Overload Test. Perform in accordance with (IAW) appropriate TM.
7.1.3.1 TIER 1 REQUIREMENTS: On 5 KW and greater Generators, perform IAW MIL-STD-
705, Method 608.1, 90% rated resistive load only; except no test recording instrumentation is
required. On 2 KW and 3 KW Generators, perform IAW MIL-STD-705, Method 608.1, 80%
shall have the applicable rated resistive load applied IAW Method 608.1 and shall be deemed
acceptable if no generator faults occur during the test.
