Figure 3-1. Load Bank Installation Airflow Clearance Requirements
ADDITIONAL LOCATION NOTES
1. Do not stack, tier, or layer Load Banks without Avtron approval, as air recirculation will
occur.
2. Indoor installations will always require review. Make up air must be by a supplemental air
moving device. The Load Bank cooling system cannot be used for any purpose other than
cooling the Load Bank.
3. In northern climates with snow depths exceeding 6 inches, a physical inspection of the Load
Bank intake and exhaust is required prior to operation. Any significant snow drifts or snow
depths must be cleared prior to operation.
4. Standard Load Banks are designed for operation between sea level and 2,000 feet maximum
altitudes. Operation at altitudes over 2,000 feet above sea level requires special
consideration. Contact Avtron for assistance.
5. In general, these guidelines also apply to portable or trailer mounted Load Banks.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
