PowerLink Load Banks (15kW-2000kW) for Generators and battery Testing and Power System Commissioning suitable for Australian mining, construction, rental and commercial sites.
PowerLink 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.

Load Banks for 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.
Types Of Load Banks
There are mainly 2 types of Load Banks- Manual and automatic. PowerLink provides suppliers with both automatic and manual load banks. PowerLink Australia delivers 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.
Load Bank FAQ
Featured Case Study: Reliable Diesel Power for Western Australia Satellite Dish
In the remote and rugged landscapes of Western Australia, maintaining a consistent power supply can be a daunting challenge. The region’s vast expanses are often beyond the reach of traditional power infrastructure, making standby power solutions a necessity for critical operations. PowerLink, a leading manufacturer in the power generation industry, recently collaborated with PR Power one of our trusted Partners, to address this very challenge for a satellite communication project in Western Australia.
