Portable Resistive Load Bank
- The Portable Resistive Load Bank is a robust steel enclosure that contains three banks of switchable resistive loads.
- Each bank of resistors is electrically separate, so they can connect as a star or delta load for three-phase circuits.
- Each bank of resistors includes a thermally operated circuit-breaker to protect the loads.
- Students connect the loads to experiment circuits using safety sockets on the enclosure front panel.
- Each bank has a set of switches to bring each resistor into circuit.
- This allows students to create and study the effects of balanced or unbalanced resistive loads.
- Students can use this load bank in combination with the other similar load banks to provide variable power and power factor loads.
