Product Overview
The Rata Rata Load Bank is a resistive–inductive load bank designed for controlled testing and commissioning of three-phase power systems. The unit is supplied in an indoor design (outdoor options available) and is specified for 400 VAC, 3-phase 4-wire systems. It provides combined active and reactive loading (specifications list 300 kW and 225 kVAr, rated as 375 kVA), with a compact industrial enclosure and forklift lifting points for movement.
Product Features
- Dual control modes: local panel switching plus remote PC control via RJ45; remote control supports load data saving and printing.
- Resistive element: 80/20 Ni–Cr alloy finned resistors for long service life.
- Inductive element: three‑phase aluminum‑core inductors with low temperature rise that can operate without forced fan cooling.
- Cooling: horizontal air discharge; IP23 indoor-rated enclosure.
- Practical details: control voltage 380 VAC (3‑phase), dimensions ~1800×1600×1600 mm, weight ~1800 kg; packed in wooden case/pallet.
Product Value
The load bank enables accurate, repeatable loading of generators, UPS systems and electrical installations for commissioning, performance validation and maintenance. By providing both resistive and reactive loading, it lets engineers replicate real-world power factors and dynamic conditions, improving test fidelity and helping ensure reliable operation in service. Remote data logging and printout capability supports recordkeeping and compliance.
Product Advantages
- Robust, long-life components (Ni–Cr finned resistors and aluminium-core inductors) for low maintenance and high reliability.
- Flexible testing: combined resistive and inductive capability allows simulation of real loads and varied power factors.
- Flexible control and reporting: local and PC-based remote control with data save/print functions improves usability and traceability.
- Practical deployment: indoor/outdoor design options, forklift handling, and compact footprint simplify site integration.
- Built by a dedicated experienced manufacturer with local support and a developed sales network.
Application Scenarios
- Generator and prime mover commissioning and periodic load testing.
- UPS and standby power system testing for data centers, hospitals, and critical facilities.
- Factory, plant and industrial electrical system commissioning and maintenance.
- Validation of switchgear, protection systems and automatic transfer switch performance under loaded conditions.
- Any situation requiring controlled active and reactive loading for diagnostics, performance verification or compliance reporting.
