test, prove and maintain AC or DC generators and power supplies
30. What are the load bank purposes?
 Test – Precision testing instrument which applies a discrete, selectable electrical load to a power generator and measures the response of the generator to the applied load. Measurements of response stability and endurance can be made and corresponding calibrations and adjustment can be effected while a precise load is maintained on the power source
 Exercise – Exercise load banks assure the long term reliability and readiness of standby generators by providing a means for routine maintenance exercise of the generator under load. Exercise load banks eliminate the detrimental effects of unloaded operation of diesel engine contractual performance specifications
 Demonstration – A sophisticated engineering tool for demonstrating product performance and capability to buyers and users and for fulfilling contractual performance specifications.
