LCV3750
3.7MVA—3000 kW and 2250 kVAR
The LCV3750 load bank is designed to provide high capacity resistive and reactive loading of AC power systems. To achieve a 0.8 power factor, the LCV3750 load bank combines resistive load (kW) with reactive load (kVAR). This combination provides a true test of the actual generator or UPS nameplate rating (KVA) and simulates a “real-world” load.
The LCV3750 incorporates state-of-the-art load bank design features with the highest capacity in the industry (20’ container). The LCV3750 can be rented with or without a trailer.
Other features include:
- Resistive and reactive loading
- Real-time data acquisition and data logging from a laptop or PDA
- PLC-based load control
- Local and remote load controlwith hand-held controller
Product Specifications
CONSTRUCTION: The load bank consists of a ISO style container housing the resistive and reactive components, blowers, associated controls and interconnections. The container features air intakes on the sides of the container with vertical exhaust through the roof.
RESISTOR ELEMENTS: The resistive elements are manufactured from corrosion resistant chromium alloy wire and are fully supported on stainless steel rods for long life.
REACTIVE ELEMENTS: The reactive elements are of non-saturating single and 3-phase iron-core construction impregnated with high dielectric varnish.
CONTROL POWER: 120 VAC, single-phase, 60 Hz provided by an integral control power transformer.
METERING: Digital metering with data logging is provided to measure voltage, current, frequency, kW, kVAR and power factor.
PROTECTION: The LCV3750 load bank features branch circuit fusing on all load steps and over-temperature protection. Air switches on the blowers are electrically interlocked to remove load if the airflow is not sufficient to provide proper cooling.
