AC load bank for testing UPS, AC power supplies and generator sets
Load testing a UPS, an AC power supply or a generator set calls for a load bank sized for the voltage, power and power factor of the installation. The Amperis AC load bank adjusts its power factor between 0.8 and 1.0, offers 5 to 120 kW in a single element in its natural convection series with IP13 protection for outdoor use, is built fixed or portable with local or remote control, and is specified to the voltage, frequency, power and steps each application requires.
The ideal tool for the analysis and testing of UPS, AC power supplies, etc.
Power resistors are used in generator load banks in order to prevent the diesel engine from getting dirty when working at low load. Therefore, they are used to reduce the problem of condensation in diesel engines. In addition, it is standard practice to use power resistors as load banks for battery maintenance operations in electrical laboratories, industrial and telecommunications facilities.
- Amperis Resistance Banks can vary their power factor between 0.8-1.0.
- Amperis has remote or local control options for both fixed and portable load banks, or any other type of bank requested.
Compact, ergonomic, silent, modular and reliable are the main features of our AC Resistance Banks. Features that allow Amperis Products to maintain its excellent reputation.

- Applications: analysis and testing of UPS and AC power supplies; loading generator sets to prevent fouling and wet stacking of the diesel engine at low load; battery maintenance in electrical laboratories and industrial and telecommunications facilities.
- Design: the Amperis AC load bank is compact, ergonomic, silent and modular.
Frequently asked questions
Why connect a load bank to a generator set?
Because a diesel engine running at low load fouls up and suffers from condensation (wet stacking). The Amperis AC load bank adds the load it needs, with 5 to 120 kW in a single element in its natural convection series, and can be installed fixed or portable, with local or remote control.
What information is needed to order an Amperis AC load bank?
The voltage, frequency, total power, power steps, single-phase or three-phase configuration in kW per phase, whether forced ventilation, tunnel type or a control panel are required, and the auxiliary supply. For example: 400 V, 50 Hz, 3.3 kW in one step, three-phase at 1.1 kW per phase, no forced ventilation and a 400 V 50 Hz three-phase auxiliary supply.
