Did You Know?
Load banks simulate the "real world" loads that the power
source will experience. Electrical load can be broadly classified
as resistive, magnetic and capacitive. In the real world, these
components are mixed, as they are with a load bank, except
with the load bank, full control of the components is possible.
The most common load bank and the load bank which is
suitable for general load testing is the resistive load bank. A
resistive load bank converts electrical energy to heat. Within
the load bank, the load is divided into discrete circuits or
"steps" capable of stepwise, controlled application. The load
bank includes a means of cooling, most commonly forced air,
but also water.
