AC200 load bank
200 kW AC 3-phase | 67kW AC 1-phase
Key features
200kW load bank with integrated touchscreen control system providing the ultimate way to verify an electrical supply.
Advanced interface
The unique Digiload control system provides detailed insight into how the supply under test responds to load changes. All test data is recorded within the system and is exported instantly in .csv format when connecting a USB flash drive. The integrated touchscreen interface can be used to manually change the load power level or setup an automated schedule of load steps. Once created, load step sequences can be saved and recalled at any time.
Quick setup
Powersafe connectors fitted to the main load terminals make connection to the supply under test simple, fast and secure. The power connections are located away from the control panel so that operators can stand comfortably in front of the load bank without tripping over cables. With power connected, the 7” intuitive touchscreen interface enables load to be applied rapidly, with real time measurements displayed immediately.
Portable
Transport to any location with integrated fork lift points. Move around on-site using heavy duty castors, which are included as standard. Alternatively, the design can be installed in a fixed location, when requested, the heavy duty castors are replaced with mounting brackets with holes for anchor bolts.
Robust construction
The resistor elements used are from our catalogue of highly robust industrial wire coil and stamped grid technologies using stainless steel. The construction puts the cooling airflow in direct contact with the conductor surface to maximise heat transfer, thus providing the longest possible operating life for the elements. With decades of service in industry, electricity transmission and distribution systems the element technologies provide the highest level of reliability for our product.
