    The document discusses load banks, which are used to test emergency power sources like generators and UPS systems. Load banks allow these power sources to be exercised and tested by discharging batteries or drawing current. This helps ensure the emergency power equipment will work properly when needed. The document describes two main types of load banks - resistive and inductive - and provides details on their construction, operation, controls, and features. It also lists additional testing instruments and equipment available from the company.

    LOAD BA N K

    The load bank is required for periodic exercising and testing of the (stand by)
    emergency power source. The load banks play a good role to test the Gen set or
    batteries, UPS etc. Load bank is used to test the condition of the batteries by
    discharging the batteries at high current for short duration time. Emergency power
    sources like Gen set, UPS are useful when electricity takes shut down and that time
    if due to some reason these power sources does not work or fail to fulfill the power
    requirement then it is meaningless. So, emergency power sources should be
    regularly tested or exercised at periodic time. It helps them to be in active mode
    and if there is any technical problem in it then it will flashed out during testing
    period and hence it becomes easy to solve the problem. The load bank shall be
    permanently mounted in a weatherproof enclosure as per requirement suitable for
    installation on a concrete pad or structural base, forced air cooled with remotely mounted control panel.
    Load banks are mainly two types: 1) Resistive load bank and 2) Inductive load bank.
    1) Resistive Load Banks are working on Unity Power Factor. By constructional phenomena they are also
    of two types: a) Dry Resistive element type and b) Water tank type. .
    In Dry Load (Resistive) element type Load bank, resistive elements are used to consume the electricity.
    They are working on Unity Power Factor. Load elements shall be helically wound chromium alloy rated to
    operate at approximately half of maximum continuous rating of wire. Elements must be fully supported across
    the entire length within the air stream by segmented ceramic insulators on stainless steel rods. Element
    supports shall be designed to prevent a short circuit to adjacent elements or to ground. Load elements shall be
    contained in an integral resistor case. Resistors can be individually removed for inspection or service.
    In Water tank type Load Bank there are two electrodes suitably placed in a tank. These electrodes are
    applied the supply and now by controlling the water level in tank, Load current is controlled. This type of load
    bank is also working on Unity Power Factor. The electrodes are mainly of Stainless Steel made.
    2) Inductive Load banks are working on non Unity Power Factor. As per demand it could be constructed
    as lead PF or lag PF as per demand. Inductor transformers are the main Load element in this type of Load Bank.
    The Load Bank could be constructed in steps also. E.g. If we suppose to have a load bank up to 1000KVA
    then there could be 4 steps of 250KVA or 8 steps of 125KVA. The control panel should be remote operated. As
    per construction the load elements structure is contained in a rugged MS Powder coated enclosure, with rigid
    lifting handles provided for simplified handling also unidirectional rollers provided at bottom.
    The control panel shall be a remote panel housed in a MS Powder coated enclosure. The control panel
    shall contain the manual controls like: 1) Power On-Off switch, 2) Blower Start and Stop push buttons, 3) Master
    load On-Off switch and 4) Load step switches for On-Off application of individual load steps. Control panel
    visual indicators shall like: 1) Power On indication light, 2) Blower On light and 3) Over temperature light if
    demanded. .
    The standard digital metering with digital display of Volts, Ampere, Frequency, and KW provided. The
    communicator or power analyzer could be introduced in control panel to all parameters in Laptop or PC.
    The Load elements in any case Resistive or Inductive there should be arrangement for cooling by heavy
    duty, reliable, industrial blower. Load bank features vertical discharge of air for cooling to provide a low profile
    design for easy entry into areas such as parking garages. An integral control transformer shall be provided to
    supply 230V, 1 Phase, 50 Hz, to the load banks control and motor starter circuitry.

    This unit should simple to set up and operate by a single technician, saving valuable time in the field.
    Simple operation and maintenance will provide years of trouble free service. The control circuit should be fuse
    protected. The fan motor are electrically protected against overload using a motor overload device and short
    circuit protected if demanded. Control Transformer primary and secondary control circuits could be fuse
    protected. Also if demanded an over temperature switch could be provided to sense the load bank exhaust in
    the heater case assembly. The switch is electrically interlocked with the load application controls to remove
    load from being applied in the events of an over temperature condition. The change in resistance due to
    temperature shall be minimized by maintaining conservative watt densities.

    FEATURES
    » Simple to Operate, Reliable and durable Load Elements.
    » Easy to Read Meters.
    » Over temperature Protected (if demanded).
    » Master Load Control Switch and Load Step Toggle Switches for Load Control.

    STANDARD TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS


    » Operating Voltage in 1 Phase 230V, AC, 50/60Hz and in 3 Phase 415V, AC, 50/60Hz. Whereas in DC 110V or 220V.
    » Steps as per demanded. Step designing as to minimize the cost and increasing smooth steps operating.
    » Cooling Fan On-Off control on control panel.
    » All steps control for On-Off as well all steps On/Off Indications are available on control panel.
    Digital read out for Volt, Amp, Freq, and Watt. Also power analyzer could be introduced to store data.
