Avtron K841 Load Bank

K841
	Overview The Avtron Model K841/K843 is a reactive load bank designed to be used in conjunction with a resistive load bank to provide loading of AC power sources at less than unity power factor. This type of testing is necessary to provide a true test of actual generator output. Application: An inductive/reactive load bank is intended to be used in conjunction with a resistive load bank to test a generator or power source at 0.8 power factor (lagging). To achieve a 0.8 power factor, the reactive load bank should be sized at 75% of the resistive load bank KW rating.The resistive and reactive load banks are connected and operated in parallel. The K841 is available in balanced 3-phase loads of 150, 188, 191, 225, 228, 300 and 375 KVAR at 240 or 480 volts. These units are available with different size load steps, depending on customer requirements. The typical load steps are 3.75, 7.5, 9.38, 18.8, and 37.5 KVAR.An optional, continuously variable, 0-3.75 KVAR load adjustment is available. For testing 400 Hz power sources, an Avtron Model K843 may be used. It is similar to the K841 except it is designed to operate at common 400 Hz voltages. The maximum capacity of the K843 is 300 KVAR. These load banks contain iron core reactors and a blower motor housed in a rigid structure of formed heavy gauge steel and are designed for indoor or outdoor installation. The outdoor units are equipped with two hoods mounted on each end of the load bank and screens that cover the inlet opening in the bottom of the unit. Channels are provided in the base structure to facilitate handling by a fork lift truck.
