Portable Load Bank
The Simplex PowerStar
Portable Load Bank is an ultra-compact, lightweight, versatile
test instrument specially designed for manufacturers, dealers
and users of small AC power systems, to 100KW 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.
At less than 100 pounds and less than seven cubic feet, the PowerStar
50 is highly portable and easily transported to the job site.
The Load Bank includes casters, lifting and moving handles. Power
connections are plug-in to Cam-Lok connectors. Control and cooling
fan power is obtained from a common 115v, 15A outlet via the
included connection cord.
The PowerStar is a fully self-contained and portable testing
system. It includes integral cooling fans 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.
The PowerStar control panel includes test instrumentation,
load application switches, operation indicator lights and fan/control
power switch. The load bank includes rugged “Powr-Web”
load elements, load control contactors, branch circuit fuse protection
of the load elements, high temperature power wiring, cooling
fans with circuit breaker, control power fuses. The load bank
is protected against fan failure, high intake air temperature,
high exhaust air temperature, and overvoltage. The unit includes
Cam-Lok power connectors and a 15' control/fan power cord (115v).
