Loadbank rental is one of our growing markets at OPS. We understand that the regular loadbank testing of a generator will install confidence in the equipment's ability to perform when needed. Loadbank testing is a vital tool ensuring that the generator or UPS remains in full working order. This in particular is very useful in circumstances where testing the generator on building load is not appropriate or not possible.
We can provide you with our own temporary load banks for testing from 1kw/kva to 2.5Mw/Mva and larger packages. This might be at 400V or upto 20Kv.
Upon completion of the test we can issue a full report showing graphs and line data for transient and heat load tests. We can then offer a full estimate for any remedial works that may be necessary.

We can provide portable resistive and reactive load banks to meet the requirement for testing generating sets and uninterruptible power supplies. The load bank test is able to provide a full rated load test of the generator and tests the equipment under controlled conditions. It thus provides the user with the peace of mind that the equipment has been tested to its maximum capability as installed, and may be considered suitable for continued operation under any emergency conditions. It may further be used to test equipment by simulating the application and removal of large and small transient loads and monitoring the response of the generator under such loads.
We can supply the load bank, LV power cables typically 150mm2 and 240mm2, all cables are installed in accordance with current legislation. For large and long-duration loadbank installations, cables are installed on cable tray and trefoilled. We can supply anexperienced test engineer who will conduct the test safely and with the ability to assess the performance of the equipment throughout the test. Test periods normally last for between one and four hours.
We can arrange to carry out site surveys, layout drawings, Risks Assessments and Method Statements for all applications
