Resistive Load Bank
81kW max, 3-phase

The NEW N-Series water cooled load bank is perfect for testing many kinds of power sources including generators, UPS systems and battery banks.  It consists of a load tank complete with nine resistor elements, voltmeter and ammeters, load step selector switches, inlet and outlet hose fittings, all assembled and wired.  Since the resistor elements are electrically isolated from the cooling water, water quality will not affect the load value.  Made in USA  

 

FEATURES...

* Resistor elements immersed but electrically isolated from cooling water.  Load value
   not affected by cooling water quality.

* Designed to accept standard bolt-on water heater elements.  Load step values can
   be changed using locally available 120V and 240V standard elements.  Higher voltages
   must be special ordered.

* Panel meters indicate voltage and current for quick verification of loading
   (meters rated 5% accuracy).

* Standard load bank configurations with selector switches controlling three load steps for
   a wide variety of kW values.  Standard configurations with three equal 33% steps
   (provides 33%, 66%, 100% loading) or three unequal 20%, 40%, 40% steps
   (provides 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% loading).

* Power terminal block for test cables accepts #6 AWG to 350MCM copper or aluminum
   conductors per pole.

* Cooling water connections for inlet and outlet will accept standard garden hose fittings.
   Single female inlet connection and three male outlet couplings provided on tank.

* Since there are no cooling fans or other control devices, no external control power source
   is needed.

 

SPECS FOR STANDARD CONFIGURATIONS
Load bank factory configured for one total load watts with three step sizes shown.
Order desired configuration using drop down menu at bottom of this page.
Note that load bank can be operated at any lower voltage or up to listed value plus 10%.
However, load watts will vary with square of voltage.
Bold table values use standard commonly available 240V water heater elements.
Non-bold values use special order 208V or 480V elements.  Many other kW values
are also available by special order using 208V or 480V elements.

APPLICATION NOTES
1. Tank is not pressure rated.  Outlet hoses must be level or sloping down hill to prevent water outflow from top of tank.
2. This load bank can be used on AC or DC voltages.  However, cam switches are load-break rated only for AC voltage.
3. Resistor elements are delta connected line-to-line.  Therefore no neutral star-point connection is required or available.
