DESCRIPTION

Simplex Load Banks are precision test

instruments speciﬁ cally designed to

apply a discrete, selectable resistive

electrical load to a power source while

measuring the response of the genera-

tor to the applied load. They also pro-

vide a means for routine maintenance

exercise to assure long term reliability

and readiness of the standby generator.

Exercise Load Banks eliminate the det-

rimental effects of unloaded operation

of diesel engine generators.

This fully self-contained Load Bank

includes test instrumentation, cool-

ing system, rugged load elements,

load-application control devices and

automatic system protection devices.

Operating controls are located on a

Local Control Panel.
