  Mars-HV Medium Voltage Load Bank Overview

Simplex Load Banks - Mars-HV Stationary Load Bank

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.

  Mars-HV Medium Voltage Load Bank Features

General
Simplex Mars-HV load banks can be used to satisfy the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for emergency stand-by power systems.
Load Elements
Elements mounted in easily accessible, slide out trays.
Simplex Powr-Web chromium alloy, open wire, continuously supported, power resistor.
UL Recognized.
System Controls
Standard: Simplex D-Series Digital Controller with local or remote touchscreen.
Cooling
Integral forced air cooling system.
3-phase, direct-drive motor.
Water shedding exhaust hood.
Forced air, vertical airflow -- cold air intake at bottom, hot air exhaust at top.
System Protections
Sensors, alarms (alarm message on remote operator interface terminal), lock-outs as appropriate, for the following: fan failure, high exhaust temperature, high intake temperature.
Load Circuit Protection: branch circuit fuses. One set of fuses each 50KW branch. Fuses are current limiting type, 200,000 AIC, 600V, enabling safe use on large generating or UPS system.
Load Control

Contactors with enclosed silver surfaced contacts, 120V coils; electrically operated and electrically held.
Power
Control Wiring: 105°C, color coded.
Power Wiring: 150°C.
Cables connect to full rated copper bus bar with an oversize terminal junction box.
Enclosure
Type 3R weatherproof power section, including load elements and cooling fan.
Type 3R weatherproof control section, thermally and electrically isolated from resistive load power section.
