Resistive Loadbanks

Overview

Resistive Loadbanks

What are Resistive Load banks and why to use them?

Resistive Load banks are used to test electrical power output from sources such as generators, UPS & Battery systems while carrying out commissioning and maintenance work. Read More

By simulating the actual load engineers can test all required electrical and control parameters before connecting the actual equipment such as computer servers, power generation equipment, Air Conditioning systems etc.

What is an AC Resistive Load Bank?

The AC Resistive load bank allows you to test a prime mover and a generator at 100% capacity. This method employs a straightforward process for measuring loads: electrical energy is converted to heat via power resistors, and the heat is dissipated from the load bank by air using high power convection cooling fans.

These Variable Resistive Load banks come in a wide range of options based on their size to the power range required. Here we focus on these two types of Resistive Load banks.

Rack Mounted / Table Top Resistive Load Banks

A popular choice used especially in data centers to test the entire power line from the source to the Server bay. Powers up to 5kW are available with these series and combinations of these units can provide for higher Power testing requirements where required. The Generator Load banks also find a place alongside power equipment such as UPS, Generators for a wide range of industrial activities.

Portable Load banks:

BETA is the higher version of Alpha series. The BETA series Portable Resistive Load Banks has a range of 10KW, 25KW & 50KW. (We can design load banks other than standard power rating on request.)

BETA is a standalone structured Resistive load bank provided with castor wheels for easy movement, these can be used as portable resistive load banks. These series have higher safety levels like Air flow detection, Emergency Stop, Over temperature, Over Current & Short Circuit protections.
