Load bank testing validates battery autonomy and operational performance by testing the generator and battery system under several load conditions. You can use load bank testing to identify power system faults to ensure your system is reliable.Power supply systems need this periodic testing to ensure they’re capable of handling loads when the need arises.

Along with testing the power system’s components, load banks bring several other benefits, including eliminating wet slacking, ensuring proactive maintenance and meeting regulatory compliance for some power generation applications.

Resistive load bank: 

Resistive load banks are common across several industries because they provide generator and prime mover equivalent loading. The role of resistive load banks is to test a generator and prime mover at complete capacity. This type dissipates the energy you apply and can simulate pure resistive loads, such as heating or lighting.

Reactive load bank

Reactive load banks have either capacitive loads or inductive loads. This type gradually dissipates sudden power increases, which can be ideal for applications expecting abrupt surges. You can add capacitive loads to have a leading power factor, where the current leads the voltage. Alternatively, inductive loads can reduce the power factor to less than unity, where the current lags behind the voltage. Reactive loads can simulate the operating conditions teams experience in the field. Applications with non-linear loads often employ reactive loads.
