Inductive Load Banks Inductive (or inductive reactive) load banks are used in conjunction with resistive load banks for testing AC supplies at non unity power factors. Most generating sets are rated at 0.8 power factor (or CosØ), so to test at rated conditions requires both resistive and inductive load.

Resistive Load Banks Resistive load banks can be used for testing AC supplies (at unity power factor) or for DC batteries discharge or UPS testing. The load bank size is expressed in kilowatts (kW) or amps (A) at the rated voltage. Froment's standard load banks can be used for testing supplies up to a voltage of 690Vac or 500Vdc.

Resistive / Inductive Load Banks Both resistive and inductive load are required for testing AC supplies at non unity power factors. Since most generating sets are rated at 0.8 power factor (or CosØ), testing at rated conditions is conveniently done with a combined load bank.

Megatron - Load Bank The Simplex Megatron Load Bank is a portable test instrument which applies a discrete, selectable electrical load to an AC power source and measures the response of the power source to the applied load. The Simplex Megatron is precision instrument used to test, prove and maintain a 400Hz power supply.

Dual 30 - Portable load banks The Dual 30 load banks are designed for site testing of DC batteries and AC generators and power supplies of 120 to 480V, AC or DC, at continuous powers adjustable up to 30kW. Each model is optimised for one of two voltages and is complete with all indications, controls and power leads.

Load Bank Resistors Post Glover load bank resistors are systems that provide resistive electrical loads for testing critical power supply sources such as back-up or standby generators and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems at hospitals, data centers and industrial sites. Typical applications using Load Banks include: Testing battery systems. Periodic testing of standby engine generator sets.

AC100 - Portable load banks The Cressall AC100 load bank is designed for on-site testing of three-phase AC generators and power supplies at 400/230V at continuous powers adjustable up to 100kW. Every model is complete with all meters, controls and power leads with quick-release in-line connectors.

Watt-MuncherPortable Load Bank The Simplex Watt-Muncher is a small DC rated load bank used to test battery systems, AC to DC rectifiers and power supplies, battery chargers, UPS systems and DC generators. The Watt-Muncher provides a variable test load used to measure charge and discharge rates, response, stability and endurance. Corresponding calibrations and adjustments can be made while maintaining a constant, precise, resistive load on the power source.
