550kW Genelite Load Bank GLB-550

The GLB-550 is an automatic resistive load bank rated 0 to 550 kW for continuous duty at 415 V, 50 or 60 Hz and a power factor of 1. It can be installed permanently indoors or outdoors and is rated for ambient temperatures up to 50°C.

Key features

• Twelve load steps, from 1 kW to 125 kW, take a generator up to 550 kW in fine increments.
• The control panel applies load to the connected generator automatically to keep it running efficiently and to help avoid wet stacking and cylinder glazing.
• Load cables connect at two M12 terminals per phase.
• 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.
• A 7-inch HMI instrument display sits at the control panel.
• The design is aimed at Australian conditions.

What it is for

The GLB-550 is for sites that need to maintain minimum generator loads and test generators on site: mining camps, data centres, commercial buildings and telecommunications facilities, as well as essential services, defence and pump stations. The load is resistive, so it applies real power (kW) and no reactive load. Choose the rating from the generator's kW output (kVA multiplied by power factor), and have a licensed electrician connect the load cables. Send us your generator's make, model and rating and we will help with sizing.
