"The purpose of a load bank is to accurately mimic the operational or "real" load that a power source will see in actual application. However, unlike the "real" load, which is likely to be dispersed, unpredictable and random in value, a load bank provides a contained, organized and fully controllable load." (WIKI)
Load banks are used in a variety of applications, including:
Factory testing of turbines and engine diesel generator sets
Reduction of wet stacking problems
Periodic exercising of stand-by engine generator sets
Battery and UPS system testing
Ground power testing
Load optimization in prime power applications
Removal of carbon build-up on piston rings
Cam-Lok Connectors
Our Loadbanks are:
1000 kW 600V
Air Cooled
Mobile, Portable
Cam-Lok connectors for easy connections (adapters available)
