Simplex Load Banks can
be used to satisfy the requirements of the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) for emergency stand-by power systems. |

PORTABLE
...lightweight,
hand transportable and fully self-contained.
Watt-Muncher
For DC power supplies;
70A, 100A, 150A; 12V DC, 24V DC, 32V DC
Swift-e
For AC or DC power supplies;
7.5KW, 10KW, 15KW, 20KW; 120/240V AC, 1-ph.; 12-125V DC
PowerStar
50KW, 100KW; 240/480V AC, 3-ph.
LoadStar - 80KW
LARGE PORTABLE
...equipped
with casters, fork-lift channels and lifting eyes or can be ordered
mounted to a highway trailer. Auxiliary Load Banks can be used
in parallel with the DynaMITE, Electra and Atlas models to increase
capacity and/or to obtain a .8 lagging power factor.
Options for dynaMITE, Electra,
and Atlas Megawatt
Merlin - 100KW to 400KW
dynaMITE 155 - 155KW
dynaMITE 300 - 300KW
dynaMITE 400 - 400KW
Electra - 460KW, 560KW, 660KW
Atlas-MW - 1000KW
Load Cube - 2500KW |

STATIONARY
...freestanding, forced
air cooled with integral cooling fans. These Load Banks are relatively
self-contained and have the greatest range of standard capacities.
However, by assembling systems of two or more Load Banks, capacity
can be virtually unlimited with physical space being the only
constraint. They are available as either purely resistive, unity
power factor Load Banks or as resistive/reactive Load Banks with
lagging/leading power factor load. Many options (anti-condensation,
highway trailer mounting, overvoltage protection, etc.) are available
to suit additional individual requirements. Applications

TRAILER
...consists
of up two Load Banks mounted on a specially designed and equipped
trailer which conforms to applicable Federal and DOT standards.
Single axle trailers are equipped with a dynaMITE or Neptune
Load Bank. Up to two Trident Load Banks can be mounted on a tandem
axle trailer.

RADIATOR
COOLED
...a special
form of stationary, resistive, forced air-cooled Load Banks which
utilize the air outflow of an engine radiator for cooling of
the resistive load elements. Installation is simple and adaptive
to site/system conditions in numerous ways, including direct
bolted attachment to the radiator, mounting within an air duct,
wall mounting over the air outflow opening, indoors or outdoors.
Since the design is adaptive to varying site conditions, these
Load Banks are ideal for after market retrofit. Many accessories
are available from Simplex to simplify installation. Engineers
Specifications
LBD-Series - 5KW to 1000KW
WATER
COOLED
...provide
the advantage of compact size and low temperature operation making
them ideal for indoor installation well within the interior of a building. Unlike
air cooled Load Banks which must exhaust a very high volume of
hot air to the outdoors and, as a result, are limited when installed
indoors, a water cooled Load Bank only needs two pipes (water
in and water out) and produces no significant heat radiation
to the interior space. In many cases, this will allow installation
nearer to the power source or in otherwise unused space. Simplex
water cooled Load Banks are suitable for use with fresh or saline
cooling water or cooling tower water
