Features

Options
 

General

Utilizes the UL Recognized “Powr-Web” load element

Branch circuit fuse protection of load elements

Magnetic contactor control of load

Multiple step load configurations

150°C insulated power wiring, color coded

Copper plated bus bar

Integral cooling fan

120V control circuits

Fused control circuits

Automatic over temperature and fan failure protection

Continuous duty

NEMA-3R outdoor or NEMA-1 indoor
Malfunction Detection

Malfunction detection system provides automatic load disconnect and alarm on sensing of an abnormal operating condition. The systems consists of:

Cooling air intake temperature switch, set at 120°F, to sense recirculation of load bank hot exhaust air or an ambient temperature above the rating of the load bank

Cooling air exhaust temperature switch, set 75°F above maximum rise at maximum ambient, to sense restricted cooling airflow, recirculating air, loss of airflow.

Air pressure switch to sense for positive cooling airflow

Automatic load disconnect/lockout circuit

Remote alarm contacts


Integral Forced Air Cooling System


Motor drive propeller fan

Fan blade, shrouded for high efficiency

Motor control contactor

Motor circuit breaker

Fan motors normally operate at load bank line voltage

Motors for outdoor load banks are totally enclosed

Motors for indoor load banks are open-drip-proof
