Radiator mounted load banks
From 10kW to 300kW 400V AC 3-phase
Key features
Load banks for integration with generator radiator cooling systems.
Integrated load
Integrating a load into the generator package enables load tests to be run frequently and easily without the need for an external load bank. This is particularly valuable where generators are installed in locations with limited accessibility..
Ballast load
A radiator mounted load provides the possibility to have a ballast load on the generator when running with a light application load for long periods of time. Increasing the load ensures efficient combustion and operation of the generator, preventing wet stacking issues.
Load step control
Radiator mounted load banks are offered with 2 load steps, each 50% of the total power rating. This provides an incremented step for the ballast or test load possible.
As an optional extra, load section contactors can be installed in the connection compartment for remote control of the load.
