Load Banks

A load bank is an essential piece of machinery if you need to simulate an electrical load. A dummy load bank is a piece of test equipment that tests a power source. They can be connected to power sources, like electrical power generators, at the output in order to test and calibrate the voltage. It then takes in the current from the generator and attributes it seemingly the same way the average load would, to gauge a proper approximation of efficiency. When power should be consumed, a load bank will take it over, usually in the form of heat. A load bank will show you if your generator is up to the task of powering the load that you need it to.

Shedding power

If you find your power varies and your generator is mostly light loaded, a load bank can be useful. A load bank will take in the extra power and shed it, usually in the form of heat. The machine is well equipped to do this with air- or water-cooling systems in place. Usually, a load bank will come equipped with overload protection so that you don’t need to worry about taking in too much power at one time.

Types Of Load Banks

We can provide our suppliers with both automatic and manual load banks. PowerLink supplies resistive load banks which is the most popular type. A resistive load bank can provide equivalent loading for diesel generators when testing load capacity. An inductive load bank is used for inductive or lagging loads. Capacitive load banks simulate non-linear loads that are common in specific industries. It’s essential to understand your use and needs before you embark on the journey of selecting a load bank for your project.

Quick guide to

Load Bank FAQ

Load Banks are devices used to simulate electrical loads to test and verify the performance of power systems such as diesel generators and battery storage units. They help ensure that equipment is reliable, safe, and ready for operation under real-world conditions.
Load Banks are essential for testing diesel generators under varying power demands. They prevent wet stacking, improve efficiency, and ensure the generator performs reliably during emergencies or continuous operations.
Powerlink offers advanced Load Banks designed for Australian industries, ensuring durability, precision, and compliance with local standards. With decades of expertise in diesel generators, battery storage, and power solutions, Powerlink provides trusted energy testing equipment across Australia.
To calculate the power in kilovolt-amperes (kVA) or kilowatts (KW), multiply the voltage (in volts) by the current (in amperes) for single-phase systems. For three-phase systems, multiply the voltage, current, and the square root of 3 (approximately 1.732). Divide the result by 1000 to convert to kVA or kW as needed.
To measure the power requirement for your load, list all the electrical appliances or systems that will be powered by the generator. Calculate the total wattage by adding the individual wattages of these appliances or systems. This sum gives you an estimate of the power requirement. Ensure to consider both starting and running wattage for accurate assessment.
