Load banks simulate the “real world” loads that
the power source will experience. Electrical
load can be broadly classied as resistive,
inductive and capacitive. In the real world, these
components are mixed, as they are with a load
bank, except with the load bank, full control of
the components is possible.
The most common load bank and the load
bank which is suitable for general load
testing is the resistive load bank. A resistive
load bank converts electrical energy to heat.
Within the load bank, the load is divided into
discrete circuits or “steps” capable of stepwise,
controlled application. Most load banks are
cooled by forced air, but water can be used
when silent operation is required.
