Product Overview
- Rata’s load bank product line includes resistive and resistive–inductive load banks (including a 240 kW liquid‑cooled model) offered in a range of sizes from hundreds to multi‑thousand kVA class. Units are built for indoor and outdoor use, with customizable enclosures and OEM/ODM options. Production is standardized for consistent quality and extended service life.
Product Features
- Multiple air intake/outlet configurations (horizontal/vertical) and enclosure types (containerized or cabinet), IP54 rating for many outdoor designs.
- Electrical features: Ni‑Cr alloy resistors, tin‑plated copper bars or quick copper connectors, ABCN markings for easy hookup, Rata inductor design with low temperature rise (~10–15°C).
- Control: local panel switching plus Remote PC control via supplied software, RJ45 remote interface, local/remote mode switch.
- Robust connectors and seals to be water/snow proof; quick connector design for fast installation/disassembly.
Product Value
- Accurately simulates real load conditions to validate generators, switchgear and other power equipment, reducing commissioning time and risk.
- Provides reliable test data for maintenance, design validation, R&D and teaching labs.
- Customizable sizes and controls let customers match the load bank to their exact testing needs, improving efficiency and lowering total test costs.
Product Advantages
- Wide product range and configurable designs (indoor/outdoor, various airflow schemes).
- Durable construction and standardized production for longer life and consistent performance.
- Fast, safe connections (quick connectors, clearly marked terminals) and weatherproofing for field use.
- Low thermal rise inductors and quality components enhance reliability; integrated local and remote control with vendor‑supplied software simplifies operation.
- OEM/ODM capability and professional technical support from Rata for tailored solutions.
Application Scenarios
- Power system maintenance and commissioning: load testing for generators, transformers, high‑voltage switches and circuit breakers (including ship generator loading).
- Electronic component and device testing: characterization of resistors, capacitors, inductors and other passive components.
- Research, education and laboratory testing where repeatable, controllable loads are required.
- Other maintenance and test uses in communications, motors and generators, HVAC systems, solenoid valves, sensors, optical fiber equipment, semiconductors and laser systems.
