Load Banks
Resistive For testing AC loads at unity power factor.
Reactive For developing inductive or capacitve load for testing at leading or lagging power factors.
CombinedResistive/reactive units test generators and their prime movers.
Ensure critical power availability when needed.
Correct power factors to increase efficiency and reduce costs.
Commission power and HVAC systems. Discharge and test battery strings and uninterruptible power supplies.
What do these challenges have in common? All of them can be solved by using a load bank.
Challenges ASCO Solutions
Test backup power source availability and performance.
Provide minimum loads for generator testing and regulatory compliance.
Healthcare
Load banks provide one or more types of electrical loads:
Load banks are available for low voltage, medium voltage, and direct current applications.
Load Banks apply consistent, accurate, measurable, and repeatable electrical loads to power sources.
