If you’re in the market for a load bank, you’ll undoubtedly have come across the terms resistive and reactive. To make load bank specification as simple as possible, you need to understand the difference between the different types of load testing solutions and which one is most appropriate for your application.
What is a resistive load bank?
A resistive load bank provides a simulated electrical load for generators and backup power systems. For engine-only exercising and general engine maintenance, a resistive-only loadbank is ideal for clearing carbon build-up in the engine, it is the most common and cost-effective option for preventative maintenance.
