DC600 load bank
30kW | 600A at 50V DC
Key features
Light weight, compact load bank providing 30kW of load capacity; 600A from a 50V source.
Portability
Light weight enclosure, manufactured from aluminium and fitted with two handles on the top of the enclosure and two fixed position castors for maneuverability.
Easy to use
Load banks are supplied with two power cables with quick release connectors. Included with the unit is one set of (2 x) 2x70mm2 cable, 2.5m long with M10 lugs for supply side connection.
Precise control
10 switched load steps including a 5A fully variable section give the load bank precise control from 0.6A to 600A.
Current measurement
The control circuit can be supplied from an external source. When this is done the load bank can be used to test DC supplies with any output voltage from 1V to 50V, with the current drawn proportional according to Ohm’s law.
