Bison Power Resistive Test Load Banks are utilized in testing the following power sources:

  • Engine Generators

  • Wind Generators

  • Turbine Generators

  • UPS Systems

  • Battery Systems

Bison Power Ltd Load Banks

Bison Power Resistive Test Load Banks utilize coiled chromium alloy load elements supported with cool cast ceramic insulators.
4.5” maximum continuous spacing is provided between each support point. All load resistor ends are fitted with silver soldered stainless steel connection studs. Bison Power’s “cool load®” resistor design guarantees lower operating temperatures and extended life in the most adverse environments.
Each “cool load®” resistor is mounted in removable load resistor frames. Load resistor frames are designed for dual pass “cool load®” resistors. Removable racks and dual pass “cool load®” resistors provide superior serviceability and reliability.
Five standard load resistor frames are used in a single or stacked configuration for load banks from 80kW - 3000kW. Custom load resistor frames are available for fan cooled load banks. Integral, direct drive, single or three phase cooling fans provide up to 108,000CFM per load bank. Adjustable temperature and air flow sensors are provided to guarantee safety shutdown in case of airflow failure.
Load bank control compartments are located in a heat resistant compartment. Control components include load stepping contactors, load step selector switches and fault indicators. Optional features include AC metering, integral over current protection and automatic load step control.

Two models of portable NEMA 1 indoor load banks single or multi-voltage resistive test load banks: TLB-H (Horizontal) and TLB-V (Vertical).

​

TLB-H models from 80 kW - 650 kW.

The cooling air moves horizontally across the cool load elements. The enclosure is constructed of 16 gauge galvanized steel, rests on four 6" neoprene casters and is complete with a steel push handle bar. Local control and instrumentation are conveniently positioned at the top right side of the load bank. A weather sealed lockable cover protects all instrumentation and control.


TLB-V models available from 300kW - 650kW.

The cooling air moves vertically across the cool load elements. The enclosure is constructed of 10 gauge aluminum, rests on four 6" neoprene castors and is complete with a steel push handle bar. The load bank width of 32" permits passage through typical access doors and elevators.


Both the TLB-H and TLB-V models utilize test power for fan motor and control. Provisions for connections to an external source are provided. When testing is confined to an area with restricted air discharge or ceiling equipped with heat sensors, the TLB-H load bank is designed to operate on its side with horizontal air discharge. TLB-V load bank is designed to
operate on its top with vertical air discharge.

 

Bison Power offers two models of fixed mounted resistive test load banks: LBI (indoor) and LBO (outdoor).

 

The LBI and LBO series load banks are fixed mount indoor or outdoor single voltage units and the cooling air moves horizontally or vertically. A remote load step control panel is provided as standard equipment for the
LBI and LBO models. Auto load step control is optional.


The LBM series load banks are fixed mount outdoor direct connection medium voltage units and the cooling air moves vertically and exhausted hoods are mounted on top of load bank body. A remote load step control
panel is provided for all LBM models. Auto load step control (HMI c/w 10" LCD screen) and Modbus TCP/IP communication are optional
