Key Features
Optimized Mid-Range Industrial Capacity
Offering 1.875 MVA / 1,500 kW, this load bank provides robust testing capabilities for a broad spectrum of commercial buildings, smaller data centers, and industrial facilities, hitting a sweet spot for many common requirements.
Versatile Application Profile
Its 480 V design voltage and 50/60 Hz compatibility, combined with precise 1 kW/1 kVAR load steps, make it highly adaptable for diverse power system configurations, ensuring comprehensive testing for various equipment types.
Balanced Power & Footprint
While powerful, its 6′ x 8′ ISO container footprint offers a more manageable size compared to mega-capacity units, making it practical for sites where space is limited but significant power testing is still required.
Why Rent this Load Bank?
Cost Savings for Periodic or Short-Term Use
Purchasing a 1.875 MVA load bank involves a significant upfront investment for infrequent testing needs, such as commissioning new systems, annual maintenance, or compliance checks. Renting allows companies to access this high-capacity equipment only when needed, avoiding capital expenditure and ongoing costs such as depreciation and insurance. The load bank’s compact design and transport-friendly 13,200-lb. weight make it ideal for temporary setups in confined spaces, further supporting cost-effective rental for short-term projects.
Access to Advanced Technology and Scalability
Renting provides access to state-of-the-art load banks featuring versatile hand-held, PC, or manual control systems and a fully adjustable power factor for precise testing at 50/60 Hz. Updated fleets ensure users benefit from the latest technology without being tied to an owned unit that may become obsolete. The load bank’s linkable design allows scaling to larger loads, offering flexibility for varying project requirements—particularly valuable for utilities or marine applications testing diverse power systems.
Elimination of Maintenance and Storage Responsibilities
Owning a 1.875 MVA load bank, housed in a 6′ x 8′ weatherproof ISO container, requires dedicated storage space, regular maintenance, and calibration to ensure reliability, especially in harsh conditions up to 120°F. Rental providers handle these tasks, delivering a fully maintained, ready-to-use unit with features such as side-intake/top-exhaust airflow for efficient operation. This is especially beneficial for industries like shipbuilding, where storing large equipment in marine environments is challenging and costly.
