Typical applications of load bank in power testing
1. Power generation equipment testing Generators (diesel/gasoline/gas generators):
Load capacity verification: Gradual test from no-load to rated load, detection of voltage, frequency stability and recovery characteristics.
Overload capacity test: Short-term overload (such as 110% rated load) to verify the response speed of the protection device.
Parallel operation test: When multiple generators are connected in parallel, power is distributed through the load bank to detect synchronization and load balancing capabilities.
New energy power generation (photovoltaic inverters, wind power converters): Simulate grid impedance characteristics to test the inverter's islanding effect protection, harmonic suppression capability and grid-connected stability.
2. Power system testing UPS (uninterruptible power supply):
Full load/half load test to evaluate battery life, voltage fluctuations at the moment of switching and recovery capabilities.
Load distribution balance test of redundant UPS systems.
Battery pack: Discharge test: Use constant current load bank to simulate real discharge scenarios, detect battery capacity, internal resistance and consistency, and avoid "false power" problems.
Switching power supply / DC power supply: Load adjustment rate test: Stability of output voltage when load changes (such as load jump from 0% to 100%).
3. Power grid and distribution system test
Substation / distribution transformer: No-load loss and load loss test (equivalent load method) to evaluate energy efficiency level.
Short-circuit impedance simulation to test the accuracy of the action threshold of the protection device.
Harmonics and power quality: Non-linear load bank (such as rectifier, inverter simulation) is used to test grid harmonic pollution and evaluate the filter effect.
4. Equipment aging and reliability test
Aging test: Run the power supply equipment at full load for a long time to expose early faults (such as poor heat dissipation and component aging).
Environmental adaptability: Use a temperature and humidity chamber to test the changes in load characteristics under high and low temperature and humid and hot environments.
