II. DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATION

II-A. Features

The Simplex Swift-E Portable Load Bank allows quick and easy testing of small generators.
The self-contained, lightweight, and hand-transportable load bank can be used to test and
maintain AC generators, AC rectifiers, inverters, power supplies, RV generators, and other AC
sources.
The load bank is available as the standard 10KW Swift-E unit and the 15KW Swift-E+ unit.
Swift-E load banks contain specially designed power resistors, high-temperature, silicone-
insulated power wiring, industrial toggle switches, high-interrupting capacity fuses, and load
connection cables. All control and cooling circuits operate from the source under test. Test
instrumentation and connection cables are provided.
For a parts legend, please see
when ordering parts.
The Swift-E unit features sealed tubular-type load elements made up of nickel-chromium
resistance wire sealed in incoloy sheath (nickel alloy). To reduce the risk of electrical shock
and short circuiting of elements, the element has a non-conductive exterior. The element is
also rust-proof, vibration-proof, and shock-proof.
Swift-E load banks have panel-mounted toggle switches for each load step, as well as a
master load switch. This combination allows for precise load control as well as block loading.
With a connection cable set of 10' with ring lug terminations, the load bank is encased in an
environmental Type 1 enclosure of aluminum construction with exterior powder coating. In
addition, the enclosure has protective rubber feet, handles for carrying, and cable wrap for
neat storage.

II-B. Safety

To prevent dangerously high temperatures, Swift-E load banks have an over-temperature
sensor to de-energize the load and activate the alarm indicator. Should the connection of the
load bank be incorrectly installed, an over-voltage sensor will shut down the unit and activate
the alarm indicator. For more information, see "Alarms and Warnings" on page 16.
