Vulcan 5R

Overview

Very large capacity, portable Load Bank System consisting of multiple units, each rated 5.0MW, capable of parallel operation to form very large systems of up to virtually unlimited capacity. Medium voltage to 34.5kV. PLC-based digital control. Each load bank trailer equipped with digital control system and local operator interface. Each trailer networked such that entire trailer can be controlled from a single station. Any system of paralleled trailers can be controlled from a single station, either at one trailer or at a remote station.

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

Features
