Different Types of Load Banks and Their Applications

 

Load banks come in various types, each suited for different applications. Resistive load banks simulate resistive loads like heaters and incandescent lights, while reactive load banks mimic inductive or capacitive loads such as motors and transformers. Resistive/reactive load banks combine both functions for comprehensive testing. Portable load banks are ideal for field testing, while stationary load banks are used in permanent installations. Understanding the different types of load banks and their specific applications can help in selecting the right equipment for your testing needs.
