• Medium voltage operation reduces need for external transformers
• 30-Foot ISO-compliant container simplifies transport and relocation
Florham Park, N.J. – July 16, 2020 – For medium voltage load testing, multiple load banks and external transformers are often needed to apply sufficient load for generator testing. To simplify testing in large medium voltage applications, ASCO Power Technologies, Inc., introduces its 8850 Containerized Load Bank. Offering 4500 kVA in a single 30-foot transportable container, the unit is designed to be moved from site-to-site and reduce transformer cabling logistics.
Benefits
The 8850 Containerized Load Bank is well-suited for testing power sources at large hospitals and large data centers:
- Capacity to 4500kVA, 16.5 kV at 0.8 power factor reduces need for multiple load banks
- Thirty-foot container encloses more load elements than smaller containerized models
- ISO-compliant container simplifies transport and relocation
- Medium voltage operation reduces or eliminates space-consuming external transformers
- Separate control rooms segregate low and medium voltage operation
- Modbus over Ethernet simplifies integration into common Building Management Systems
Features:
- Integrated, sealed, oil-cooled transformer with Schneider Ringmaster switch board offers high-reliability for the toughest conditions
- Centralized transformer optimizes weight distribution and eases transport and handling
- Resistive load elements use ASCO’s proven, non-finned, sheathed, design for long service life
- ASCO SIGMA controls supervise low voltage functions
- Integrated ASCO SIGMA Instrument System monitors medium voltage components
- Optional sound attenuation reduces noise
- Integrated Schneider Magelis HMI touchscreen provides local control and diagnostic insights
“The new 30-foot 8850 Containerized Load Bank provides capabilities for any testing requirement, and is especially suited for high-capacity, high-voltage applications,” said Jonathan Clarke, Sales & Marketing Director, ASCO Load Bank UK. “It is a self-contained, easy-to-install, all-in-one design that makes multiple units unnecessary, decreasing costs and reducing floor space requirements.”
