180kW Genelite Load Bank GLB-180

The GLB-180 is an automatic resistive load bank rated to 180 kW at 415 V, 50 or 60 Hz and unity power factor, with a continuous duty rating. It is built for permanent installation alongside a generator, indoors or outdoors.

Key features

• The control panel automatically keeps the generator loaded at an efficient operating point, which helps prevent wet stacking and cylinder glazing.
• Rated for ambient temperatures up to 50°C, with a design aimed at Australian conditions.
• A 7-inch HMI instrument display sits at the control panel.
• Stainless steel elements sit in a galvanised steel canopy on a galvanised skid base.
• Fork pockets and a top lift are provided for positioning the unit with suitable lifting equipment.
• Load cables connect at one M12 terminal per phase.

What it is for

Use the GLB-180 where a generator needs a minimum load maintained or a test run on site. The sectors it targets include mining camps, data centres, commercial buildings, telecommunications, essential services, defence and pump stations. A resistive load bank applies real power (kW) and no reactive load, so size it from the generator's kW output (kVA multiplied by power factor). Installation and cable connection should be done by a licensed electrician. Send us your generator's details and we will help with sizing.
