What is a load bank?

A load bank is a device used to simulate and apply an electrical load to a power source such as a generator or battery. It is used to test the performance and capacity of the power source under various conditions, including full load, partial load, and overload.

Load banks come in various sizes and capacities to accommodate different types of power sources and applications. They can provide resistive, inductive, or capacitive loads to mimic different types of electrical equipment and systems.

Load banks are used for a variety of purposes, including commissioning and testing new power sources, conducting routine maintenance and performance checks, and verifying the efficiency and capacity of existing power systems.

Load banks are typically portable and easy to install, making them a convenient and cost-effective solution for testing and maintaining power sources in a variety of industries, including data centers, telecommunications, manufacturing, and healthcare.
