Description
MARGEN Model MX-TMR5000 is a state-of-the-art, high capacity resistive load bank system intended for testing and routine maintenance of
- Large generators, or other AC and/or DC power sources.
- Shipboard Generators.
- Large Power Distribution System.
The trailer mounted load bank is available in various rating and configuration. The available range ratings are
- 380/480 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 3 Phase AC or DC, 250 to 550VDC.
- 1000 KW to 5000 KW.
- Highway Rated Trailer rating ranging from 4000 kg to 7000 kg.
The trailer & container is constructed of heavy gauge steel with a durable polyester powder coat finish. The load bank incoming power connections are made inside the main cabinet directly to copper bus bars.
The load bank control power is provided from a standard internal control power transformer which derives power from the input load bus voltage. This eliminates the need to run a separate 120 VAC utility feed to the load bank which can save significant time and cost. Alternatively this control power can be provided with external separate source.
MARGEN’s proprietary resistor load elements provide the necessary power loading for each individual load step. The resistors are constructed from precision nickel-chromium resistance alloy and are fully supported within the air stream by stainless steel rods which are insulated with high-temperature refractory ceramics. Heavy-duty, PLC controlled magnetic contactors provide load application of each load step.
This model is available in various versions with various options to meet customer specific needs.
The load bank is digitally controlled via an on-board PLC with colour touchscreen display and includes standard data monitoring (Voltage, Current, KW, and Frequency) with test data capture to a USB drive. The load bank can be operated in manual, automatic, or multi-station mode. Multiple load banks can be daisy-chained together and run from a single controller for higher capacity testing. The digital controller includes a wide range of safety circuits including cooling- air loss, over-temp, over- voltage/under-voltage, and load dump. All load is automatically removed and locked-out in the event of a safety circuit trip. A hard-wired Emergency Stop switch is also included.
