Product Overview
- Product overview
Product Features
- The Rata Resistive Load Bank is a compact, portable 15 kW (three‑phase 415/240 VAC) resistive load bank designed for generator testing and exercise. It provides continuous duty passive loading (21 A/phase) with 0 to +5% load tolerance and stepped loading capability for controlled, repeatable generator tests. The unit is built on a solid metal frame with powder coating and weighs about 40 lb (approx. 12–14" W × 18" L × 22" H).

Product Advantages
- Rated capacity: 15 kW, three‑phase (415/240 VAC), 21 A per phase.
Application Scenarios
- Load steps and resolution: 5 kW step resolution (5 kW and 10 kW selectable steps, total 15 kW).
- Load connection: 8' pigtail power cable; continuous duty cycle.
- Control panel: main load switch, independent load step switches, airflow status indicators (red/green), fan on/off, and test sockets for instrument probes (A, B, C, N).
- Safety and protection: fast branch‑circuit fuses for each phase, fused 110–120 V control circuit, air pressure switch to prevent loading on loss of cooling airflow, over‑temperature sensor that removes load, blower motor overload protection, and operator warnings on access panels.
- Cooling and control power: integral high‑speed blower (110–120 V AC, 1‑phase, 50/60 Hz); control circuit requires 110–120 V AC, 1‑phase.
- Construction: durable all‑metal frame, stainless external fasteners, horizontal airflow and front control shield/handle.
- Product value
- Enables safe, accurate and repeatable on‑site generator testing, commissioning, and routine exercising to verify capacity, voltage regulation, and thermal performance.
- Protects gensets by providing controlled loading and built‑in protections (cooling loss, overtemp, fuse/overload) to avoid damage during tests.
- Reduces downtime and maintenance uncertainty by allowing diagnostic and acceptance testing without relying on customer loads.
- Compact, lightweight design improves portability and ease of deployment for field service, rental fleets, and remote sites.
- Product advantages
- Strong quality control: inspected at every production step to minimize manufacturing defects.
- Proven safety and technical expertise: manufacturer experience with electrical safety standards and advanced safety technology.
- User‑friendly operation: clear status indicators, simple load stepping, and dedicated test sockets for monitoring.
- Rugged, serviceable construction: powder‑coated metal frame, stainless fasteners, and protected blower and control circuits.
- Export and support capabilities: company emphasis on international market expansion and a professional engineering team for product support.
- Application scenarios
- Commissioning and site acceptance testing of new generators.
- Routine exercising and preventative maintenance of backup and prime generators in hospitals, data centers, telecom, industrial plants, and commercial facilities.
- Load bank rental services and mobile test teams for contractors and utilities.
- Factory acceptance testing of generator sets and troubleshooting/diagnostic verification in manufacturing and service depots.
- Emergency power verification before critical events or seasonal peak demand periods.
