Load banks are devices which act as an electrical load. When applied to an electrical power source, they convert or dissipate the resultant power output of the source. A DC load bank's function is to accurately imitate the operational or “real” load that a power source will see in an actual application. However, unlike the “real” load, which is likely to be dynamic and unpredictable, a load bank presents a self contained, optimized and fully reliable load with controls and accessory tools necessary for simple operation. This guarantees that performance testing of a power source can be done under controlled conditions for the most reliable, repeatable results.
High quality DC load banks with extensive built-in protection against improper connection and usage can be considered "Fit and Forget", easy maintenance products. They come with no hassles, no worries and a solid, no down-time guarantee. This definitely helps to keep project testing under budget and on time, leaving the project manager more time to concentrate on other important agendas.
Electronic loads and load testers are used to test electrical and electronic equipment. If you rely on a generator as part of a critical power system, simply starting up your generator every now and again is definitely not enough of a test to make sure your system will work when you really need it. A periodic load bank test is recommended to ensure that your generator will run smoothly and efficiently when you need it.
Technically speaking, any device that can be used to acquire and store data can be considered a data logger. This includes various data acquisition devices such as plug-in boards or serial communication systems, which use a computer as a real time data recording system. Nevertheless, most manufacturers believe a data logger is a rugged, stand alone device able to read various types of electrical signals and store the data in internal memory so it can be downloaded later to a computer. Some data loggers are designed as turn-key solutions, using the latest measuring and protection circuitry, and are microprocessor controlled. When using a Manatronics Data Logger in conjunction with a suitable Manatronics Load Bank for battery testing, you can simply set it and move on to a next task. The data logger can be programmed with a Selectable End Voltage that terminates the load test and, when finished, will switch off the Manatronics Load.
It is of the upmost importance that, if you are considering a DC load bank and data logger, you deal with a company that has products designed to be rugged, flexible, reliable, and are easy to use. Also find out if the business you are dealing with can cater to your different Voltage - Current requirements. They should be able to provide you with the top notch DC load bank tailor-made to suit your specific needs. Why pay for extra features you may never need or use?!
