Load banks

. QUOTE

Power resistors are used in generator load banks to avoid fouling of the diesel engine when the generator is operating at low power.  Therefore, load bank are also used to reduce “wet stacking” issue in diesel engines. In addition, it is standard practice to use power resistors as load banks to maintain batteries in electrical laboratories, industrial testing facilities and telecommunications facilities.

We offer inductive load banks that can vary their power factor between 0.8 and 1.

Remote control or local, available in fixed and portable applications on any load banks.

Compact, ergonomic, silent and modular, the new models in our wide range have increased reliability which will help to maintain the excellent reputation of METAL DEPLOYE RESISTOR, built up over the last 70 years
