Collection: Load Banks

A load bank keeps a generator healthy and proves it will carry the load. Diesel generators that run for long periods at light load wet stack and glaze their cylinders; a load bank puts a controlled electrical load on the set so it runs at a healthy temperature, and lets you test that it can deliver its full rated output before the day you need it.

The range runs from 15kW to 800kW in two families. GLB automatic resistive load banks are built for permanent indoor or outdoor installation beside a standby generator, with a control panel that automatically keeps the set at an optimal load. PDL portable load banks ride on heavy-duty castors with switched load steps, made for commissioning, servicing and load testing on the move.
