Atlas-Megawatt

Overview

The Simplex Atlas-Megawatt is an ultra large capacity, high performance Portable Load Bank designed to provide the manufacturers, distributors and users of large AC generators and UPS systems with sophisticated testing capability.

The Atlas-Megawatt provides 1000kw of resistive load at both 240V and 480V, 3- phase. It can be applied at any AC voltage to 480VAC, 50-60-400 Hertz, single or 3-phase. Load step resolution is 5kw.

The Atlas-Megawatt is a totally self-contained testing system. It includes all resistive load elements, load control devices, load element circuit protective devices, connection cable set, cooling system, malfunction detection system, control power supply and test instrumentation.

We are experts at building products that meet our customer's exact requirements. Contact Simplex if your job specifications require additional options or considerations.
