FAQs About Resistive/Reactive Load Banks

Apply full load testing with our resistive/reactive load bank rentals. These resistive/reactive load banks are designed to replicate varied conditions to test the loads of your generators and other power generation equipment with a lagging or leading power factor. Our resistive/reactive load banks range in capacity from our lowest 1,200 kVA resistive/reactive load bank to our 6,000 kVA resistive/reactive load bank. We carry equipment made by top-rated manufacturers to ensure you get the very best hardware for your project.

What is a resistive/reactive load bank?

Resistive/reactive load banks are designed to test power sources with a lagging or leading power factor, which is what gives them both resistive and reactive qualities.

Can a resistive/reactive load bank simulate both real and reactive power loads?

Yes, like a resistive load bank, they test systems at full load, while also having the capability to simulate real-world inductive or capacitive loads like a reactive load bank would.

Can resistive/reactive load banks be used with both single-phase and three-phase electrical systems?

Yes, resistive/reactive load banks can be used on single or three-phase systems.
