Load bank develops electrical load, applies the load to
the electrical power source and dissipates the resultant power output from
the source. Load bank accurately mimics the operational load that a power
source will see in actual application. It is a self-contained, unitized,
systematic device for developing electrical load and applying the same to an
electrical power source for converting or dissolving the power output. The
load bank is used in UPS system testing, testing the functioning of
turbines, Battery system testing, load optimization in heavy duty power
applications, factory testing of engine generator sets, To reduce "wet
stacking" problems etc. National Resistors offers load banks and
auxiliary equipment necessary to handle these applications.
