Load banks

 

Power resistors are used in generator load banks to avoid fouling of the diesel engine when the generator is operating at low power.
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.

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
