| SEPHCO Industries Pty. Ltd. World Leaders in Load Bank Technology |

| |
|
| Load banks are compact units
that are coupled to the output of your power generation system
such as diesel generators, gas turbines or UPS and battery
systems. Load banks are dummy loads, designed to simulate the
plant load and prove the design, performance and the capacity
of the system, without interruption to the normal running of
your plant. |
|
|
| Why Do I Need a Load Bank? |
It is a cost effective
investment for:
Testing and maintaining electrical power systems.
Avoiding excessive wear on under loaded diesel generators.
Prolonging the life of generators and UPS or battery
systems. |
|
|
| What Does a Load Bank Do? |
| Generators are usually
rated to supply sufficient power to a plant or building,
based on the maximum demand required. Sufficient plant
loading is not always available to safely load generators.
Under - loading of the engine will cause a high wear
rate due to insufficient fuel combustion and loss of
lubrication resulting in cylinder bore glazing and
fouling of exhaust ports and valves. Running the generator
without load will not prove it's performance or power
capacity. Proper and controlled loading is therefore
essential. It increases diesel engine life by up to
four times and improves the efficiency by ensuring
that the engine has sufficient loading at all times.
It proves the rated power, proves system operation,
controls integrity and communications of your power
system. It maximize battery life in UPS systems by
regular loading and discharging. |
|
|
| Who Would Use a Load Bank? |
| If you own a stand
by emergency generator, UPS or battery system, you
build or sell generators and power systems, you rent
generators use engine driven power source, you need
a load bank. |
|
|
| SEPHCO ® load
banks provide the capacity to meet acceptance, loading,
testing and data recording requirements for the following
standards of emergency and stand - by power systems.
European: ISO8528, IEC364-7-710, EN60034-9. USA: NFPA70,
NFPA110. Australian: AS3009. These standards require
emergency power supplies used in buildings, hospitals
and public gathering places etc. to undergo regular maintenance
procedures, by load testing to at least 50% of the rated
power capacity and logging of the test data. |
