Resistive Load Banks

Resistive load banks test the generator capacity and power quality of electrical circuits, ensuring equivalent loading between a generator and prime mover. They apply power to a generator, and an equal amount is then applied to the prime mover. A resistive load bank functions by removing energy from each aspect of a generating system.  Power resistors converting electrical energy to heat create the 'load' of this unit. The heat is then dissipated by force or convection with air or water. These units simulate realistic resistive loads similar to heating or lighting and also mimic the unity power factor component of magnetic loads from motors and transformers.

700 KW 

The versatile 700 KW Resistive load bank is built for transport and control. It features a weatherproof enclosure as well as castors or forklift pockets with additional trailer options. Choose between hand-held, PC, manual, or customized controls that allow you to operate the load bank from up to 300 meters away. The optional Starlight System captures data, produces reports, and is compatible with all Microsoft operating systems. It has a design voltage of 50/60 Hz with 480v or 240v configurations. Units are fully customizable and can be linked together for larger load capacity. Learn More
