Voltage Derating

^ Back to Top

Load banks are designed to provide a specific capacity at a rated voltage. They cannot be operated at a voltage higher than their rating without risking damage to the load bank. However, the load bank can be operated at lower voltages.

Load bank derating is calculated as shown at the right:

 Voltage Derating Equation

Power Information

^ Back to Top

The KW rating of the engine-generator set is dependent on the horsepower rating of the prime mover and the electrical rating of the generator.

The KVA rating of the generator is dependent on the current rating of the generator (amps).

Power Information and Equations

Load Bank Connections ^ Back to Top
Most Avtron load banks are three-wire delta designs. Four-wire wye power systems can be easily connected to the standard Avtron load bank by connecting phases A, B, and C to their respective input terminals. The standard Avtron load bank is a balanced 3 phase load, so the generator's neutral wire is not required.

When rating load bank capacities for special applications, refer to the wiring connection diagrams at the right:
