AC300
300kW resistive load bank
The AC300 is a robust and easy-to-use solution for testing AC power sources, including diesel generators, up to 300 kW of resistive load.
With the option of it being 1-phase or 3-phase load bank, the AC300 is a great choice.
Built for reliability and ease of use, the AC300 delivers efficient, on-demand load testing you can trust.

Key features
Easy connections
Powerlock style 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.
Portability
With integrated forklift points, you can easily transport the AC300 load bank to any location.
There is the option to move the load bank around on-site as heavy duty castors are included as standard. However, the design can alternatively be installed in a fixed location if preferred, as the heavy-duty castors can be replaced by mounting brackets with holes for anchor bolts.
Reliable construction
The resistor elements used are from our catalogue of highly robust industrial stamped grid technology 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.
Optional extras
Remote control
Available for units fitted with Digiload, the remote provides the ability to control a load bank via a wired connection. Housed in a rugged IP66 case it includes a 10” touch screen, emergency stop and 2 USB data ports.
Protective PVC cover
Available for additional protection during transport or storage.
Network capability
When this hardware capability is enabled, the load bank can be connected with other load banks via Modbus TCP to create a centrally controlled network.
Supply cables
Lengths of 5m, 10m, 25m as standard. Terminated each end with Powerlock source sockets (for load bank connection) and cable lugs (for connection to supply under test).
Anchor bolt mounting plates
Available for permanent installation. (no-cost option since supplied instead of heavy duty castors)
