L-Series Inductive Load Banks

General

 

Load banks are devices which contain resistive, inductive and/or capacitive loads. They apply the load to an electrical power source, thereby dissipating the power of the electrical source.

Unlike the on-site loads, which are highly variable in terms of many electrical parameters, load banks provide pre-determined and controllable loads. These in turn serve the power source, using its energy output to test, support or protect.

Portable and stationary load banks incorporate load step increments as low as 1 kVAr for testing small to large generating sets. The fine control resolution ensures accurate load control and power factor targeting adjustments.

Load banks are suitable for both workshop and on-site testing and the units are suitable for trailer mounting.

 

Features

 

  • Robust design
  • Vertical / Horizontal air release
  • ISO container or custom-made enclosure design
  • Integrated remote control system with data capture, monitoring and load step controlling
  • Ease of integrated load testing with other load banks
  • Corrosion resistant outdoor paint
  • Stainless steel vibration-proof
  • High temperature class reactors on demand
  • IEC 62116, IEEE Std 929 and UL1741 compatible designs

Load banks feature an optional touch-type LCD display and/or wireless remote load step switching controller and/or load step & time controller PC software. In addition, controller features include fan start/stop, electrical parameter controls, timing, capturing data, test mode and fault detection. PC controllers are connected to load bank through USB port for connection.

In addition, circuit breaker protections are provided in the load bank and easy access to switchgear compartment and reactors is achieved. In terms of safety; fan failure, low air flow, over-voltage, over-heating and phase sequence protections are included in the load bank.

Control

 

Load banks can be controlled via local, remote, wireless remote or automatic control systems.

Local control: Control panel self-contained in load bank with load control button and/or touch panel.

Remote control: PC software controlled with data cable through a USB connection input in a location away from the physical load bank for controlling predetermined load steps, power factor, timing, capturing data, test mode and fault detection.

Wireless remote control: Load steps and main controlling function of the load bank is achieved by an ergonomic hand-held remote control.

Automatic control: DSP controller with auto control available including auto on-off, auto load regulation, timing, regenerative power response.

 

 

L-series inductive load banks are devices which contain inductive loads, apply the load to an electrical power source and dissipate the reactive power of the electrical source.

L-series load banks are designed for portable and fixed applications.

Hilkar brand L-series load banks have a robust design specifically designed for corrosive environments. Load banks can be controlled via local, remote, wireless remote or automatic control systems.

 

 

  • For other ratings up to 36 kV or for other load step resolutions, consult factory.
  • Dimensions and weight may vary as per at the custom specific ratings.
  • Given dimensions and weights are approximate values.
