Electra Large Portable
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

Neptune Stationary Load BankSTATIONARY
...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.

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. Engineer’s 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 theWater Cooled Load Bank 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

LBW-Series - 5KW to 600KW
