Load Banks are devices designed to provide electrical loads for testing power sources such as generators and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS). Load banks are also used to reduce "wet stacking" problems in diesel engines of backup generating systems.

EEP sells load banks that can be mounted on a trailer, they range in size from 500KW to 3MW

At EEP we sell load banks ranging  50KW to 3MW in permanent load banks.

No, but CSA 282 requires building owners to test their generator systems monthly and full load test the generator set for two hours yearly; permanent load banks make this easier.

Yes, but in most cases the building load will not provide 100% of the generator load required. Load banks can be offered with load controls to add or remove load to supplement your building load to obtain 100 %.

Yes, but these load banks are limited to about 50% of the generator sets capacity; this is due to the air flow available from the radiator fan.
