The Simplex Solar-5 is a very large capacity, resistive/inductive portable load bank capable of 0.8 power factor loads to 5.0MVA (4.0MW, 3.0MVAR). The Solar-5 is designed for low voltage application to 690vAC. PLC based digital load control with touchscreen operator interface is standard. The unit is network capable with other Solar Load Banks as well as most standard Simplex Load Banks in order to form large, ultra high capacity systems which can be controlled from a single operator interface with totalized data acquisition.
