Capacitive load banks

Routinely used in utilities, data centers, and other industrial settings, capacitive load banks use capacitors store and deploy electric loads. With a leading power factor, they’re an effective way to conduct load testing while counteracting inductive loads or bringing power factors closer to unity.

At Aggreko, we provide a comprehensive range of capacitive load banks, alongside specialist expertise and engineering excellence, so you can:

• Counteract inductive loads by applying capacitive load
• Test equipment with a specific amount of kVAR
• Correct power factors and make them closer to 1/unity
• Test equipment under fluctuating loads, which may be a closer reflection of your real-world loads

• Meet legal requirements for load testing and reporting, using capacitive load banks to validate equipment based on what your typical load looks like. Capacitive load banks are excellent at simulating the fluctuating loads of equipment like servers.
• Test your backup energy equipment by simulating loads to measure performance and efficiency. With our capacitive 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.
• Simulate performance at peak demand safely and accurately with a capacitive load bank. 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 earlier in the process.
