Load bank is a simulating load test equipment used for generators, UPS, battery banks etc power systems testing.
1. Routine load test prolongs the service life of standby generators by minimizing their chances of suffering from wet stacking, cylinder glazing, fouling of exhaust ports and excessive oiling.
2. Used for standby generators routine maintenance or functional test to avoid cutting off the mains supply for the whole power system.
3. Using load bank for standby generators maintenance or functional test effectively reduces the risk of the powered devices being damaged by the potentially malfunctioning generator.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. When the load bank is running, no one is allowed to walk through nor flammable materials such as gasoline, diesel should be placed within 10m extent of the exhaust end.
2. When the load bank is running, people with long hair are not allowed to walk through within 1m extent of the air intake end.
3. The airflow direction of the load bank is from air intake end to exhaust end. When the fans start running, make sure the airflow direction is correct, otherwise, You need to when the fan stop rotation,pull the fan and selection fans rotating direction selector,then run the fan to confirm the air intake and exhaust direction again.
4. When the”FANS FAILURE”light up and the alarm buzzer sound,please turn off the fan swith on the control panel soon,clean the fan blades ,confirm the inside four cooling fans direction and the speed are the same,reset the overload relay of the fan inside load bank cabinet.
5. When the “OVERHEATING” light up and the alarm buzzer sound,first unload the load to no load,then confirm the load bank whether placed on confined space indoor,whether intake and exhaust flows,whether intake air temperature is over 50℃，whether the fans is working properly.
