The Mars-HV is a self-contained Load Bank to 15KV utilizing the Simplex Mars Load Module with on-board dry-type power transformer. It is a freestanding, skidded unit consisting of three principle sections:
| 1. | High voltage section consisting of main input power terminals, high voltage: 480V 3-phase power transformer, low voltage output terminals, and outputs to load cell. |
| 2. | 480V, low voltage resistive load section consisting of one 700KW-1250KW forced air-cooled load cell. |
| 3. | Control Section. |
