RESISTIVE LOAD BANK:

Introduction:

• Voltages utilized in industry are of either Resistive, Inductive or Capacitive types; these provide various types of power factor and the power system behaves accordingly.
• Resistive load banks are used to provide braking effect or for heat dissipation.
• These have canthal wires wounded on porcelain tubes through which electricity is passed & current flows, normally for Resistive loads the Power factor is unity.
• This Model is the Industrial/Educational model suitable for demonstrating to students the complete knows of the Basics, Loading provided in steps, Study of Efficiency & Maintenance of these Loads packaged in small rating.
• Students can make connections of their own with the help of the terminations provided.

Technical Specifications:

• Power ratings available     : 1KW / 2KW/ 5KW/ 10KW
• Voltage Primary                   : 440V AC 3-Phase / 220V AC 1-phase 
• Enclosed in cabinet with Steps provided for loading, meters provided for each phase & terminations brought out on Banana terminals.

LIST OF EXPERIMENTS POSSIBLE

• Calculation of total resistance
