Small load banks in the range of 240 kW to 700 kW are equipment designed for controlled simulation of electrical load in low and medium power energy systems. Using predominantly resistive load, these banks enable safe and stable reproduction of real load behavior, being suitable for continuous, stepped, or stress regime tests. Developed for critical infrastructure applications, these equipments are robust, versatile, and capable of operating in both indoor and outdoor environments, supporting typical conditions of construction, commissioning, and maintenance.
Load banks of 240 kW to 700 kW are widely used in Data Centers, industrial facilities, hospitals, airports, critical buildings, and emergency power systems. Their main applications include testing of generator sets, UPS, low-voltage transformers, transfer panels (ATS/STS), electrical panels, busbars, and complete electrical distribution systems. These equipments are indicated for performing Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), Site Acceptance Test (SAT), Pre-Commissioning, Equipment-Level Commissioning, Subsystem Testing (Level 3 / Level 4 Commissioning), and periodic operational tests. In generator tests, they enable validation of effective power, voltage and frequency stability, dynamic response to load variation, and performance under continuous operation. In UPS systems, they enable autonomy, bypass, charger, inverter, and battery bank tests, as well as failure and redundancy simulations in N, N+1, or parallel architectures. They are also widely employed in integrated electrical subsystem testing, ensuring that different components operate in a coordinated manner before final operation.
Read below some common questions related to our products. If your question remains, our specialists will be ready to assist you.
Yes, it is possible; however, step-down transformers will be required. The voltage will be reduced to 480V, allowing the test to be performed safely and accurately within the required parameters.
Yes, it is possible. However It is necessary to evaluate the specific characteristics, such as voltage, current, and the connection point—to identify the most effective equipment composition for the infrastructure in question.
Yes, this is a very common procedure. Nevertheless, it must be confirmed that the generators intended for testing are equipped to operate in parallel. If parallel operation is not possible, each generator will require a dedicated load bank for the duration of the test.
Yes, it is possible. However, several critical factors must be evaluated beforehand, including the total power to be tested, the specific installation site within the basement, and the overall duration of the test to ensure proper heat dissipation and safety.
Depending on the specific model, yes. Typically, our medium and large-capacity load banks are engineered for outdoor operation and are designed to function reliably even under rain conditions.
The duration of the test is determined by the specifications provided by the equipment or system manufacturer, or by the specific requirements outlined in the commissioning protocol.
Yes. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of the test performed, we can issue comprehensive technical reports documenting the results and observations.
