Portable Generator Load Bank Tester

Can be used to test 750 vdc transit system power systems.

Portable generator load bank tester. Transfer all manual or automatic transfer switches to the emergency source. Load banks are used to test quantify and determine the needs of power systems. Model 632 generator test set 0 15 000 watts of load capacity. Cressall s range of portable load banks include the ac100 our largest standard three phase load bank designed for on site testing of three phase generating sets of up to 100kw rating to the ac6 popular with contractors and hire shops where large fleets of generators need testing each time they are sent out or returned from hire.

Avtron mosebach and simplex offer several models of small portable resistive load banks for testing and maintaining small generators and other ac power systems up to 200 kw. Step load the generator with the load bank until the desired load is reached. Load banks load bank testing replicates and verifies the operation of critical power equipment such as generating sets uninterruptible power supplies and battery systems. The generator is then step loaded with the load bank until the desired load level is reached.

A load bank is a device that creates an electrical load and applies it to a source that needs power. Common load bank for testing 480 vdc battery strings or 750 vdc power supplies. After the test the technician removes the load bank load first and transfers all switches back to the normal position before allowing the generator to cool down according to manufacturer guidelines. Portability makes this ideal for testing smaller applications.

The recommended procedure to follow for the load bank test would be to. In more detail the process occurs in this manner. The center breaker is left on next the left hand breaker is turned on this connects the permanent generator to the load bank connection. Model 50541 ground neutral continuity tester tests for proper ground bonding in portable generators tests for continuity of the grounding and neutral conductors to each receptacle.

When load bank testing of the permanent generator is required a portable or permanent load bank tester is connected to the load bank connection point in the tripleswitch. Portable and on casters. The bcs generator load bank tester set is a self contained unit for load testing ac portable generators that operate ateither 120v or 240v at 60hz and can accommodate loads as large as 65 amps 15 600 watts. Asco manufactures load banks for a range of applications and environments.

Tuv certified. 1 000 amps of load at 500vdc or 1 000 vdc. The tester is designed to beused as either a diagnostic tool or to assist in sales. Then the load bank reroutes or converts the excess power coming from the output source.
