DC Load Bank

More information

DC Load Banks are devices used for testing and commissioning power supplies that produce or store direct current, and provide DC electrical loads to power supplies to simulate service loads.

Load Banks convert the electrical load coming from power sources such as batteries, UPS, and rectifiers into heat with the help of resistive elements (Cr-Al) inside them and ensure that it is removed from the system with powerful fans. Usage areas Load Banks have wide usage area in different industries. The main areas of use are listed below.    EV electric vehicle battery tests EV Vehicle Supercharger test & Test bench Telecom Data Centers Military Institutions Aerospace Hospitals Maritime Telecom Battery Manufacturing UPS Tests 400V DC

In parallel with the developing storage and production technologies, the power densities of the batteries are increasing rapidly. Increasing capacity and shrinking volumes have enabled batteries to enter all areas.
Today, Lead-Acid, Li-ion, Ni-Mh, Ni-Cd batteries are the most widely used battery types. With the DC load bank, the capacity of all battery types can be measured and information about their status can be obtained.

Auxiliary Voltage  Fan and control supply can be used externally from the mains or internally with a or switch from the main supply system of the load bank. Auxiliary voltage is not mandatory for Portable DC Load Banks. It has an internal feeding option.

Safety
All steps of load banks are protected against short-circuit by separate contactors and fuses.
Airflow load banks are equipped with airflow sensors because they are vital. In this way, if the air flow is interrupted for any reason, the load bank automatically disables the loads and turns off the system.
Although the flow is not interrupted, there are over-temperature protections against temperature rise. The device temperature is monitored instantaneously and if it exceeds the allowable temperatures, it gives a warning and protects the system.
Power connection terminals and all live parts have rigid enclosures to protect them from accidental contact.
Appropriate warning/caution statements are placed on the exterior of the load bank, access panels, hot surfaces. Thus, injuries and accidents are prevented.

Most Used Load Bank Types

Portable Load Bank They are generally devices with a capacity of up to 1000A. Since it is used for service and maintenance purposes, it has easy-to-carry wheeled cabins or carrying bags. 24V/48V/110V DC Voltage options are available

Stationary Load Bank These are load banks that are undesirable to be transported after they are installed. It is ideal for current values of 1000A and above. It is generally used in OEM test benches in factories, shipyards and capacity tests of new generation high-capacity batteries. 24V/110V/690V/1000V/2000V DC voltage options are available.
