Key Features
Versatile Load Bank for Multiple Applications
Our 1.25 MW load bank is a highly flexible unit, perfect for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. It is trailer-mounted for easy transport and deployment. With a 1 kW load-step resolution, you have precise control for your testing needs.
Adaptable Voltage
This unit is ideal for sites with multiple voltage requirements, as it can be configured for 480 V, 208 V, and 240 V operation.
Precision and Control
The 1 kW load-step resolution allows for extremely accurate testing to verify the performance of your generators and other power systems.
Robust and Reliable
Built with an 80/20 nickel-chrome resistance wire and a sheet steel enclosure, this load bank is designed for demanding conditions. It operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to +50°C.
Why Rent this Load Bank?
The Gold Standard for Generator Maintenance and Commissioning
A 1.25 MW load bank is an essential tool for a wide range of mission-critical tasks. This size is often used to test a new standby generator installation, conduct routine maintenance to prevent “wet stacking,” or perform a final acceptance test for a commercial facility.
Preventive Maintenance & Wet Stacking
Generators that run at low or no load for extended periods can suffer from a condition called “wet stacking,” where unburned fuel builds up in the exhaust system. This can lead to decreased efficiency and potential failure. Regular load-testing at rated capacity with a 1.25 MW load bank burns off this residue, keeping the engine healthy and ready for a real power outage.
Generator Commissioning
Before handing over the keys to a new facility, it’s critical to prove the backup generator will perform as specified. A 1.25 MW load bank allows you to apply a precise, controlled load to the generator, verifying it can handle the full design load of the site without voltage or frequency drops.
Routine System Audits
Many facilities require periodic testing of their emergency power systems to meet compliance standards (e.g., NFPA, JCAHO for hospitals). A 1.25 MW load bank provides the necessary equipment to perform these scheduled tests and generate the required documentation for client records.
Small-Scale UPS Testing
For smaller UPS systems or battery string tests, a 1.25 MW load bank is an excellent tool to verify that the batteries can hold a charge and that the UPS can transfer and deliver power smoothly under load.
