Description
We offer custom load bank solutions for manufacturers of Uninterruptible Power Supplies, for Manufacturers of Portable Diesel / Electrical Generators for factory production testing and for companies that require routine load testing of their standby diesel / electrical generating systems that are used as back up or emergency power. Indoors or outdoors loading application and are available in both custom and standard resistive / reactive loads. These state of the art load banks are available in single or three phase loading capability and have variety of sizes designed but can simply be put into two categories either Stationary or Portable.
Load bank resistive element is sealed inside a tubular element. Thus, the electrical current carrying resistive wire is not exposed to the ambient air (similar to an electrical bread toaster). A sealed resistive wire has far longer life when compared to an open resistive wire (because of open wire exposure to dusty, oily, humid airflow, and ambient exposure). Each element is individually sealed and insulated. Therefore, it is protected from the ambient air and from shorting caused by any contact between the elements. Each element is separated to allow uniform airflow and temperature distribution. Periodic retightening of terminals is not required for this load bank. The terminals are not exposed to high temperature and distanced from the heating elements.
The load banks are enclosed, the load banks can be mounted on the floor or suspended from the top. The load bank mounting must be vertical in order to allow for natural airflow with hot air rising from the cold air intake on the bottom to the hot air outlet on the top. The cooling air inlet opening are at the bottom of the load bank and at the two bottom sides of the load bank. The hot air outlet opening is at the top (roof/ceiling) of the load bank. Thus, depending on whether the load bank is mounted on the floor or is suspended, appropriate air inlet and air outlet ducts can be attached to the load bank. This will allow outside air to flow through the load bank and to exhaust to the outside.
