Testing solutions from the world’s leading load bank manufacturer
Load banks are used to test the effectiveness of standby systems in a variety of situations:
Key Factors
- Running a generator on full load helps to avoid “wet stacking” where the engine’s performance is compromised by unburnt fuel, lubricating oil and condensation caused by a light load on the alternator and low engine temperature and exhaust gasses.
- Using a load bank to simulate actual demand will prove whether the controls and switch panels work as expected under real conditions.
Northbridge Industrial Services (LON:NBI) hires and sells specialist industrial equipment. It’s subsidiary Crestchic designs, manufactures, sells and hires loadbank equipment which is primarily used for the commissioning and maintenance of independent power sources, such as diesel generators and gas turbines.
