FOOTNOTES: † OPTIONAL ITEM(S) The "†" symbol is used throughout the entire website to note and identify any optional item, feature, or equipment not included in the standard base pricing of the load bank and/or equipment. These optional items are available for additional costs. *AUTOMATIC LOADING OPERATION The Automatic Loading function is standard as it is installed/embedded in the firmware of the Programmable Digital Controller (PDC). To enable and utilize this function, external Current Transformer(s) (CT's) must be installed per manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations. External CT's are available for purchase through LOADTEC's Parts Department. External CT's are not included with any proposal or quotation offering unless specifically mentioned in writing. **REGENERATIVE ABSORPTION CONTROL (REQUIRES ENABLING OF AUTOMATIC LOADING OPERATION) The Regenerative Absorption Control function is standard as it is installed/embedded in the firmware of the Programmable Digital Controller (PDC). To enable and utilize this function, AUTOMATIC LOADING OPERATION must first have been enabled and functioning. The Regenerative Absorption Control utilizes the same external Current Transformer(s) (CT's) that drive the AUTOMATIC LOADING OPERATION function. ***AUTOMATIC EXERCISE OPERATION The Automatic Exercise function is standard as it is installed/embedded in the firmware of the Programmable Digital Controller (PDC). To enable and utilize this function, it requires an external control power source for the real time clock. The external control power source can be either the facility power source or the generator's starting batteries. A 2 wire "START" control for the generator is required to accomodate this function.

APPLICATION DATA 4USE: This model provides a complete, self-contained system providing the means of meeting NFPA 70, National Electrical Code Standard, Article 700-4 for the exercising and operational support of a standby/emergency generator set. The load bank is typically recommended to be installed outdoors allowing the heat produced to be discharged into the atmosphere. A load bank sized for the "maximum anticipated load" of the facility will provide an optimum maintenance load in accordance with NFPA 70. It also fulfills the exercising requirements of NFPA 99 & 100. Load bank use also prevents "wetstacking." Wetstacking is a condition that can exist in diesel engines when all the fuel is not completely burned and passes into the exhaust system. In Diesel generators, wetstacking usually occurs because the engine is running at only a small percentage of its capacity; therefore the engine does not achieve its optimum operating temperature. Wetstacking may be detectable when there is a black oily residue exiting the exhaust, poor stability of the generator, or when poor generator frequency occurs. Wetstacking can shorten the life expectancy of a diesel generator engine. Utilizing a load bank to supplement the source load (or as the only test load) will help maintain the engine's optimum output rating and will eliminate wetstacking (if the load bank is properly sized). Load banks may also be of necessity for the diesel engine's oxidation catalyst (soot trap) system. Many air quality control districts require these emission reduction systems. In order for the oxidation catalyst system to function properly, the engine exhaust must be maintained at a minimum output temperature. The exhaust temperature must be maintained at the specific minimum level to regenerate the oxidation catalyst system to meet air quality standards. 4INSTALLATION: The load bank is easily installed outdoors in spaces such as rooftops, equipment yards, or other limited access areas. Installation requires a concrete pad or structural framework for mounting. Indoor installation require additional considerations for ducting and static pressure restrictions. The load bank is standardly supplied with a Nema 12 wall mounted Programmable Digital Controller (PDC) for remote mounting in close proximity to the connected source. The Remote PDC Controller requires only a single CAT 5 communication cable for connection and no additional control power if located within 250 feet of the load bank. 4OPERATION: The Programmable Digital Controller (PDC) provides a complete generator operational support system. The controller is programmable for: start-up base loading for load acquisition support, automatic loading/regenerative operation for light and variable loading applications, automatic exercise with alarm monitoring, and basic manual control functions for installation commissioning. 4CONSTRUCTION: The load bank is designed and constructed for a long and reliable life in industrial environments. The load bank is constructed of galvanized steel that is primed & painted using UV Resistant Premium High Performance Acrylic Enamel. The enclosure meets U.L. & Nema construction standards and is standardly provided with lifting eyes, forklift tubes, stainless exterior hardware, and hinged access doors for connection & control compartments. 4RESISTAR® LOAD RESISTOR: The RESISTAR® is designed specifically for high-density applications. The resistor is continuously- supported to minimize shorting contact with surrounding resistors. The resistors are terminated and supported with ceramic components; no plastic or polyester glass laminates are used. They are then mounted in small trays that are easily removed in the field and serviced by an individual. The RESISTAR® does not require a cool down period and has a standard industry-exclusive 3 year limited warranty. 4COOLING: The load bank is forced-air cooled by a direct drive airfoil propeller using a TEFC motor with a disconnect and overload relay. 4PROTECTIVE CIRCUITS: The load bank is protected with fusing for each load section and control circuit. It is also provided with an airflow and temperature sensor to disconnect the load bank on a failure condition. Voltage and Frequency ranges are also monitored to protect the control power circuits and during alarm exercise failures. |
