How to select AC load bank

How to select AC load bank

Select AC load according to nominal power and nominal current as reference table below

A typical UPS or generator wattage test will include a nominal power test, Peak power, frequency…In addition, the discharge current must also be checked. Refer to the table of power/current of 3-phase load bank as request

Table 6 – Reference the power ratings of AC load banks

Note:
– AC load can be used to test 3-phase or 1-phase AC power up to rated 450V
– The nominal current of the load bank is the current calculated at the rated voltage of 380V .
