Large load banks with capacities between 1,000 kW and up to 3,300 kVA with power factor 0.8 are designed for execution of high-power tests in critical electrical systems. Their modular architecture enables paralleling of multiple units, significantly expanding available total power and enabling tests in complex, redundant, and distributed systems. Equipment is designed for safe and reliable operation, supporting severe conditions typical of commissioning, acceptance tests, and prolonged stress testing.
Large load banks are widely used in large-scale Data Centers, hyperscale installations, substations, industrial plants, large hospitals, airports, modular Data Centers, critical campuses, and power generation and distribution systems. Their applications encompass testing of large-power generator sets, modular or centralized UPS systems, parallel generation systems, low-voltage substations, associated medium-voltage panels, main busbars, ATS/STS systems, as well as complete electrical distribution systems. These equipments are indicated for a wide range of tests, including Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), Site Acceptance Test (SAT), Pre-Commissioning, Equipment-Level Commissioning, Subsystem Testing (Level 3 / Level 4), and also Integrated Systems Testing (IST) in environments where real IT load is not yet available or must be complemented by artificial load. Paralleling of multiple banks enables execution of N, N+1, 2N, and active parallelism architecture tests, as well as simulation of critical events such as abrupt load rejection, automatic transfers, module failures, bypass tests, and operation recovery. In the context of generator testing, banks of 1,000 kW to 3,300 kVA enable validation of nominal and continuous power, voltage and frequency stability, dynamic behavior, fuel consumption, and prolonged operation. In large-scale UPS systems, they enable complete autonomy, efficiency, charger, inverter, and parallel operation tests.
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.
