LoadStar
Portable Load Bank

The Simplex LoadStar Portable Load Bank is a highly versatile test instrument specially designed for manufacturers, dealers and users of small AC power systems, to 80KW nominal. It is suitable for testing engine generators, wind generators, UPS systems, ground power units, auxiliary power units, static inverters or virtually any other AC power source on the production line, in the service shop or in the field. It can be applied at all common AC voltages to 480V maximum, 50-60-400 Hertz, single or 3-phase.

The LoadStar is a fully self-contained and portable testing system. It includes an integral cooling fan and control circuits, both of which can operate from generator power up to 240V, 60 Hertz (to 480V, 60 Hertz optional). Above 240V or at 50/400 Hertz, the Load Bank fan and control circuits can be powered from a 15A, 120V wall outlet. An external power cord with plug is included. An optional 480:120V fan/control power transformer is available to extend the internal fan/control power range to 480V, 60 Hertz.
