Page 9: Installation
Atlas | Operation and Installation Manual IV-A. Load Bank Placement Normally equipped, Atlas-Megawatt load banks are intended for outdoor installation. A forced air system, which discharges out of the top of the unit, cools the load elements (pictured right). Load banks require large quantities of air circulation, so it is essential to install the unit in an area that provides adequate airflow. - Page 10 Atlas | Operation and Installation Manual 4. If you will be using the test source to provide control and fan power, plug the Fan/Control Power Plug into the receptacle in the cable-storage area in the back of the load bank. If you will be using external power, plug the Control Power Plug into a 230/460V, 3-phase, 60Hz, 20A receptacle.
