Product Overview
- Rata Load Bank from China is a family of electrical load-testing systems available in resistive, resistive-inductive and DC types, covering small portable units up to large containerized systems (roughly 2 kW to 7,000 kW).
- Units are offered in indoor, outdoor and container formats with forced-air cooling, Ni‑Cr finned resistors and low-temperature-rise inductors to support long, reliable operation.
- Rata provides local panel switching and remote PC/PLC control (including Modbus TCP), operation software and generator testers to support automated test sequences and data logging.
Product Features
- Wide power range: 2 kW–7,000 kW resistive, 5–7 kVA resistive‑inductive, and various DC load bank options.
- Configurable designs: portable trolleys to containerized systems with horizontal/vertical airflows, water/snow-proof ducts and universal cable connectors/copper bars.
- Control and communication: local/manual control, remote PC control, PLC-based operation, Modbus TCP, data saving/printing and vendor-supplied remote operation software.
- High-quality components: Ni‑Cr alloy resistors, branded electrical parts (ABB/Siemens/Delixi), robust fans and low-loss inductors.
- Safety and protection: multiple protection functions, printed test reports, and design for overload, aging and endurance testing.
Product Value
- Ensures reliable, verifiable generator performance by enabling power testing, load-capacity assessment, overload and aging tests, calibration and commissioning.
- Reduces operational risk by identifying faults before field deployment and validating protection systems under realistic loads.
- Shortens commissioning cycles and supports maintenance planning, improving uptime for critical power systems such as marine sets, power plants, data centers and industrial installations.
- Provides lifecycle support—inspection, training, spare parts and software—so customers get long-term operational value.
Product Advantages
- Broad product portfolio that fits small portable tests to large-scale marine and industrial generator testing requirements.
- Proven, durable construction using first-tier components and industry-standard resistive/inductive elements for long life and stable performance.
- Flexible control options (local, remote, PLC) and modern communications simplify integration with test procedures and plant systems.
- Competitive lead times (typical 30–50 days), warranty options (12–36 months) and both remote and onsite commissioning/training services.
- Lifelong technical support, rapid response commitments (2–10 hours remote, 24–72 hours onsite where required) and paid extended maintenance/upgrade options.
Application Scenarios
- Generator manufacture and factory acceptance testing (FAT) and site commissioning for land and marine generators.
- Routine maintenance and preventive testing for power plants, backup generators at hospitals, data centers and telecom sites.
- Load bank testing for UPS systems, switchgear, emergency power systems, and industrial prime movers.
- Performance verification, overload testing, aging/endurance tests, calibration after repairs, and training/demonstration use in test labs and vocational programs.
