BL Series Description
Essentially, diesel standby generators need loading and exercising frequently to avoid cylinder glazing, fouling of exhaust ports and excessive oiling. Depending on the type of generator, minimum loading on generators is specified by manufacturers to be in the order of 35% to 50% of generator capacity. Higher loading to 100% is advantageous for full performance testing, particularly in essential service applications and in accordance with World Standards. SEPHCO load banks provide the capacity to meet acceptance, loading, testing and data recording requirements for the following world standards of emergency and standby power systems. European: ISO8528, IEC364-7-710, EN60034-9, USA NFPA70, NFPA99, NFPA110. Exercising of generator sets by utilizing building loads is generally impractical, due to insufficient building load available, and the interruption to the building operation. BL Series load banks are fan cooled, totally weatherproof units, incorporating full stainless steel resistors and corrosion proof housings. Safety features include the SEPHCO Triple Interlock load protection system, which guards against fan failure, air flow restriction, high temperature and fan reversal. BL series load banks are supplied as freestanding units incorporating switchgear and circuit breaker protection for each load group. Controls include remote touch-type operating panels.
