Product Overview
- Rata Load Bank is a heavy-duty resistive–inductive load bank series designed primarily for marine generator testing.
- Built as containerized units (IP54) with robust enclosures, full-sealed tops and lift lugs for mobility.
- Offered in large capacities (examples: 5MVA/4MW/3Mvar and 3125kVA/2500kW/2000kvar) to cover a wide range of shipboard generator ratings.
Product Features
- Resistive-inductive configuration with Ni‑Cr alloy resistors for accurate real-world loading (including power-factor simulation).
- Container design with horizontal air intake/vertical or horizontal outlet, axial fans, and noise below 80 dB at 3 m.
- Local and remote control via PLC, RJ45 network interface, with load data saving and printing capability.
- Robust power connections: internal copper bus bars and waterproof quick connectors.
- Built and tested to international standards with strict quality control (ISO 9000 management practices).
Product Value
- Validates generator reliability and stability under varied real-world and extreme loads, reducing risk of onboard power failures.
- Enables preventive identification and diagnosis of faults before deployment, lowering downtime and repair costs.
- Supports long-duration, full-load and sudden-load-change testing so crews and engineers can verify protection settings and overload capacity.
- Provides measurable, recordable test data for compliance, maintenance planning and warranty/documentation purposes.
Product Advantages
- High-quality construction and rigorous testing ensure long service life and dependable performance.
- Versatile testing capability (resistive + inductive, adjustable power factor) for comprehensive evaluation of generator behavior.
- User-friendly operation with both local manual and remote PC control, data logging and PLC automation.
- Durable, marine-suitable design (IP54, sealed enclosure, rugged connectors) that simplifies installation and movement.
- Backed by an experienced manufacturer with ISO-based quality management and combined online/offline sales and support.
Application Scenarios
- Routine and acceptance load testing of shipboard generator sets (no-load, gradual loading, full-load, sudden-load/unload).
- Performance verification during commissioning of new vessels and after major repairs or overhauls.
- Long-term endurance tests to assess reliability and thermal behavior under continuous operation.
- Overload and protection-function testing to validate generator and switchgear response under extreme conditions.
- Power-factor and system-compatibility tests where multiple onboard systems (lighting, navigation, communications) are simulated simultaneously.
