The Avtron Model K922A resistive load bank is ideal for
testing medium-voltage generators or turbines. Avtron is
leading the industry by offering a true medium-voltage
load bank while others still supply a conventional stepdown
transformer and a low voltage load bank (typically 480
VAC). A medium-voltage load bank eliminates the need for a costly
step-down transformer, which reduces the overall package size
and installation cost.
The load bank is designed for permanent outdoor installation with
vertical hot air discharge. Each load bank module is typically
rated between 3 and 7 MW. Multiple modules are used when tens
or hundreds of megawatts are required. Voltages from 5 kV class
to 15 kV class are available.
The K922A load bank incorporates 4, 6 or 8 independent resistive
stacks. Each resistive stack contains its own integral cooling
fan. A medium-voltage compartment houses the main input load
bus connections as well as the medium-voltage vacuum load step
contactors. The operator controls are housed in a separate
remote enclosure.
