General

NRTL Listed: CSA-US or CSA-Canada.
Simplex Trident load banks can be used to satisfy the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for emergency stand-by power systems.

NFPA Testing

Simplex Stationary Load Banks can be used to satisfy the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for emergency stand-by power systems. These requirements concern acceptance testing and periodic on-site testing and maintenance of emergency and stand-by power systems.

The essence of the requirements is that emergency and stand-by power systems are to be tested under load.

NFPA 110 - Emergency and Standby Power Systems, Sections 5-13, 6-3, 6-4
NFPA 99 - Health Care Facilities, Section 3-4.4.1.1 (b)
