AVTRON LOADBANK, INC.
Load Banks are devices designed to provide electrical loads for testing power sources
such as generators and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS). Load banks are also
used to reduce "wet stacking" problems in diesel engines of backup generating
systems.Most Avtron resistive load banks feature Helidyne
(TM) resistive elements. These Avtron designed and
manufactured elements are made of a corrosion resistant chromium alloy and are
fully supported across their entire length on stainless steel support rods with
segmented ceramic insulators. Elements are carefully selected to operate at low
temperatures to provide extended, reliable performance, eliminating the need for
a "cool down" period after load bank
operation.
Load banks can be used in a wide variety of
applications, such as:
- Factory testing of engine generator sets
- To reduce "wet stacking" problems
- Periodic exercising of stand-by engine generator
sets
- UPS system testing
- Battery system testing
- Ground power testing
- Load optimization in prime power applications
- Factory testing of turbines
Avtron manufactures both the load banks and the
auxiliary equipment necessary to handle these and other applications. Contact
your Avtron sales representative for complete support in choosing the best load
bank system for your requirements.
