Loadbank FAQ
A load bank is a self-contained electrical device used to apply a controlled, simulated load to a power source—such as a generator, UPS (uninterruptible power supply), or battery system. It mimics real-world electrical demand, allowing operators to safely test the capacity, performance, and reliability of critical power systems under controlled conditions.
Load bank testing is essential for:
- Verifying system functionality during commissioning
- Conducting routine maintenance to prevent failures
- Ensuring power sources are properly sized for peak demand
- Supporting compliance with industry and safety standards
Regular testing helps identify issues before they lead to downtime, extending equipment life and improving operational resilience.
Aggreko’s load banks are built with advanced digital control systems, enabling:
- Gradual or step-based load application for safe and precise simulation
- Real-time monitoring of key parameters: voltage, current, frequency, power factor
- Accurate replication of real-world conditions, including peak loads and transient events
This level of control allows engineers to diagnose inefficiencies, verify system performance, and meet compliance standards with confidence—helping prevent critical failures in the field.

Yes, matching your load bank’s voltage rating to your power source is essential. Most load banks are designed for a specific nominal voltage, like 480V. Using a higher voltage can cause overheating and equipment damage, while a lower voltage will reduce the available load.
For safe, reliable testing, always confirm the load bank matches your power system. Aggreko’s team of experts can help you choose the right setup for your project.
