Resistive Load Bank
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11302
Quick answer: The Resistive Load Bank applies a known resistive electrical load to a source, turning the supplied energy into heat in its resistance elements. Electrical engineering labs use it to load generators and power supplies and to study voltage, current, power and voltage regulation. Rating, phase and load steps are specified at enquiry. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for engineering colleges, polytechnics and technical institutes.

How a resistive load bank is used
A resistive load behaves like a pure resistance: current is in phase with voltage, so the power drawn is simply P = V x I = V^2 / R, and all of it appears as heat in the resistance elements. That makes a load bank the standard way to put a known, steady load on a source without relying on other working equipment as the load.
In electrical machines and power-systems laboratories it is connected across a generator, alternator or power supply, and the load is increased in steps while voltage, current and power are recorded. Plotting terminal voltage against load current gives the external characteristic of the source, and the fall in voltage from no load to full load gives its regulation.
- Confirm that the voltage, current, power and phase ratings of the load bank match the source to be tested.
- Place or install the unit in a dry, ventilated area with clearance for the heat it releases.
- With all supplies switched off, connect the source through suitable meters.
- Apply the load in steps, recording voltage, current and power at each step, and remove it in steps at the end.
