Borna Electronics Company manufactures various types of resistive load banks over a wide range, according to customer requirements.

These load banks can be manufactured for AC applications in three-phase or single-phase configurations, or for DC applications. They have numerous applications and are generally used wherever a general-purpose resistive load is required. For example, manufacturers of transformers, generators, UPS systems, chargers, transformer-rectifiers, drives, and similar equipment use resistive load banks to perform functional testing of their products. Depending on the power rating, these load banks can be manufactured as stationary or portable units.

There are also on-site tests performed on equipment at project locations prior to final commissioning, which typically require portable load banks.

Technical Specifications

The cooling method of the load banks is generally forced air (AF), and the auxiliary power supply can be provided as 230 VAC or 110 VDC.

These units are usually designed in multiple steps, allowing the creation of different load ranges within the rated power capacity.

The resistive elements used in load banks are typically of conventional types, including wirewound, spring, grid, and ribbon elements.

The elements are made of alloys that are resistant to surface oxidation and have high operating and melting points. For ease of maintenance, the resistive load banks are designed and assembled as separate modular units.

The latest load banks produced by this company are equipped with PLC and HMI or control boards, enabling programmable operation, smart load application, PC connectivity, and data logging of relevant parameters.
