Resistive Load Bank is an electrical device used to simulate real-world electrical loads by converting electrical energy into heat. It is commonly used to test, commission, and maintain power systems such as generators, UPS systems, batteries, inverters, and transformers.

It uses resistors (usually stainless steel or NiCr alloy) as the primary load element. When power is supplied, these resistors draw current and dissipate energy as heat, allowing technicians to:

• Verify performance
• Ensure system stability
• Conduct preventive maintenance

The heat generated is usually removed using forced-air cooling (fans or blowers).

Applications

• Generator Testing (load test at full kW rating)
• UPS System Discharge Testing
• Battery Bank Capacity Testing (with DC load banks)
• Load Testing for Inverters or Transformers
• Preventive Maintenance of Standby Power Systems
• Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)

 Advantages

• Simulates real electrical loads safely
• Helps detect system issues before failures
• Portable or stationary options available
• Step-wise load control for flexible testing
• Can be custom-designed for specific voltage, frequency, and capacity
