Extensive Inventory

Rapid mobilization requires one of the largest, most advanced rental fleets in North America. We supply over 100MW of capacity and medium voltage units rated up to 13.8kV for utility-scale verification. That gives you immediate access to transformers and cabling to create a complete package without the complexity of chaining multiple units.

Load Bank Use Cases

Validating Generator Performance

Diesel generators running at light loads often accumulate unburned fuel in the exhaust system, known as wet stacking. You can't rely on a backup system that might fail when you need it most. We deploy industrial load banks for generator maintenance to apply the necessary thermal load. The process burns off carbon deposits and restores your engine to optimal operating temperature. 

Testing Reactive Building Loads

Real buildings run motors and lighting ballasts that create complex reactive loads rather than simple resistive ones. You need to verify that your voltage regulators and alternators can handle the true demand of your facility.

 

We provide load bank testing solutions that simulate these power factors to prove your system can handle the stress.

How Do Load Banks Work?

There’s a reason you test, and we’re there to help you test flawlessly so it doesn’t affect your power system. Watch how we simulate real-world conditions to properly validate your systems.
