Load Bank Testing

KOHLER Uninterruptible Power offers a comprehensive Load Bank Testing service in order to simulate the client’s load and prove the integrity of the overall system.

KOHLER UPS Van

Overview

Comprehensive commissioning procedures and the regular testing and maintenance of UPS systems and batteries go a long way towards ensuring the integrity of a power protection system.

However, there is only one certain way of establishing that all the components of the system will function correctly together and perform as intended when required – load bank testing.

GENERATOR LOAD BANK TEST

By connecting a generator to a load bank, you can simulate electrical loads and evaluate the generator’s performance under different operating conditions.  The load bank test for generators will verify the capacity, cooling system effectiveness, voltage regulation, and ultimately the reliability.

Fully loading the power support system stresses all components

It is clearly preferable to identify potential weaknesses under controlled conditions rather than to wait until the system is supporting a critical load. It is also cost-effective to acquire this service and the expertise and experience of a professional, specialist service provider.

Load bank testing is the provision and connection of an electrical load to a power supply, often a UPS, in order to simulate the client’s load and prove the integrity of the overall system

Load bank testing ascertains the performance of the UPS, and of the entire electrical supply infrastructure including cabling, switchgear, generator and fuses. A load bank can also be used to discharge batteries as an effective, accurate and relatively low-cost method of determining battery autonomy.
