Resistive/reactive load bank rentals

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. 

At Aggreko, we provide resistive/reactive load bank rentals across voltages from 380 V to 690 V, delivering multiple 1 kVA load steps so 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

• 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.
