Power testing made simple
Resistive Reactive Load Bank Solutions for Real-world Conditions
Aggreko’s resistive reactive load bank systems simulate actual electrical loads to help you test, validate, and maintain your power infrastructure. Whether you're commissioning a generator or performing routine maintenance, our load testing services ensure your equipment performs reliably.
With our resistive reactive load banks, you can:
- Fully test equipment with load banks offering a typical 0.8 power factor
- Benchmark equipment performance against manufacturer expectations
- Meet legal requirements for load testing during commissioning
- Identify potential problems and maintenance issues sooner
Available across the middle east, our load banks range from 500 kVA to 6 MVA, ideal for everything from small setups to large industrial systems in industries such as data centres, oil & gas, events, utilities and manufacturing.
Fulfil your testing needs with the right load bank solution
Validate, protect, and optimise your power systems with flexible load bank rentals
- Meet legal requirements for load testing and reporting. We can provide a resistive/reactive load bank rental designed around your required load profiles and durations, alongside sophisticated handheld controls and integrated data capture.
- Test your backup energy equipment by simulating loads to measure performance and efficiency. With our resistive/reactive load banks, you can test equipment at full load and resolve issues before they become costly problems or lead to downtime.
- Resolve maintenance issues including degrading insulation before they escalate into disasters. With regular load testing, you can spot problems sooner, and fix them faster.
- Avoid wet stacking and carbon buildup in generators by using a load bank to determine capabilities and output. A load bank rental can also be used to provide load that clears out known carbon buildup in an engine.
- Simulate performance at peak demand safely and accurately with a resistive/reactive load bank. Its modular design means you can run multiple load banks in parallel for near-limitless scalability.
- Meet schedules and performance expectations by thoroughly testing your equipment or resistive and reactive generator energy performance earlier in the process.
Powering confidence in every sector
Dependable load banks to help maintain performance across industries
Resistive/reactive load banks enable you to test equipment by replicating a lagging power factor. This is vital for complete engine and alternator tests, which purely resistive load banks can’t provide, since they only test at a unity power factor. Aggreko’s resistive/ reactive load banks cater to a wide range of applications across multiple sectors including:
Data centres operations
Prevent downtime and SLA breaches by validating UPS systems, backup generators, and switchgear with reactive load bank testing. Simulate full-load conditions before go-live to ensure seamless failover performance.
Oil & gas operations
Test high-capacity generators and turbines in remote and offshore locations. Maintain power reliability and HSE compliance across upstream and downstream environments.
Manufacturing & industrial plants
Avoid production halts by stress-testing backup systems and switchboards. Maintain operational continuity during planned maintenance or system upgrades with our load testing solutions.
Utilities & power generation
Validate grid stability and generator performance with scalable resistive reactive load bank systems. Test substations and power plants without disrupting service through flexible load bank rentals.
Events & temporary installations
Simulate peak loads and ensure backup systems are ready before the crowds arrive for global expos, sporting events or concerts.
