Product Overview
- Rata’s 3-phase resistive load banks are purpose-built test units for applying controlled resistive loads to generators and power systems.
- Available in a wide power range: resistive units from 10 kW up to 7000 kW and resistive‑inductive models from 5 kVA up to 7000 kVA.
- Configurable for indoor or outdoor use and support both local panel switching control and remote automatic control via PC.
- Manufactured using lean production with strict quality inspection and internal quality-control processes.
Product Features
- Broad power coverage to support small to very large generator testing and commissioning.
- Dual control options: local manual switching panel and remote PC-based automatic control for flexible operation.
- Resistive and resistive‑inductive versions to simulate different load power factors and real-world conditions.
- Robust construction suitable for indoor or outdoor deployment, with secure connections and reliable components.
- Designed for stepwise loading and accurate measurement/recording of voltage, frequency, current and power factor.
Product Value
- Validates generator capacity, voltage and frequency stability and protection system performance before and during service.
- Detects latent defects (e.g., AVR issues, cooling inadequacies) early, enabling timely repairs and avoiding in-service failures.
- Provides accurate test data to support maintenance planning, extend equipment life and optimize operational reliability.
- Reduces downtime and risk during commissioning and emergency preparedness by ensuring generators perform under realistic loads.
- Enhances safety and compliance by enabling controlled, repeatable load tests following established procedures.
Product Advantages
- High reliability and consistent quality driven by lean manufacturing and rigorous inspection.
- Wide power range and availability of both resistive and resistive‑inductive configurations for versatile testing needs.
- Flexible control: manual local panel plus automated remote PC control for convenience and repeatability.
- Suitable for harsh environments with indoor/outdoor designs and secure installation features.
- Backed by an experienced development and quality-management team and global sales/export experience.
Application Scenarios
- Routine and acceptance load testing of backup and prime generators in factories and commercial buildings.
- Commissioning and performance verification for power plants, grid stations and islanded systems.
- Marine and offshore generator testing where resistive‑inductive simulation and rugged designs are required.
- Preventive maintenance programs to identify cooling, AVR or protection issues under staged or overload conditions.
- Training, research and development, and any scenario requiring controlled, repeatable electrical loading of three‑phase systems.
