Description

Because real-world facility load is often dispersed, unpredictable and random, load bank testing is essential. Load banking is a technique used to determine maximum back-up power system performance and should be performed regularly. A load bank is a self-contained unit that applies controlled load on a power system. It consists of load elements with controls that allow an operator to incrementally step and vary the load. For total peace of mind, load banking is the method of choice to verify system operation, commissioning and maintenance as well as certify system capacity.
