Issues with starting a two-in-one-with-one-backup reciprocating compressor

For a reciprocating compressor with two in operation and one as backup, two units need to be started during operation. How should these two units be started? 1. Increase the load on each of the two units to 50 percent. 2. First, operate unit (A) at full load, then start unit (B), and after that increase the load and connect them together?

Start A first and wait until it’s at full load before starting B!

What’s the advantage of that? Why not start with 50% load first?

It is possible to test the performance of the compressor under various load conditions, allowing issues to be addressed promptly!

So if two compressors are running, how should the load be adjusted?
