Load Bank Resistors

Post Glover load bank resistors are systems that provide resistive
electrical loads for testing critical power supply sources such as back-up or standby generators and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems at hospitals, data centers and industrial sites. Typical applications using Load Banks include:
  • Testing battery systems
  • Periodic testing of standby engine generator sets
  • Factory testing of engine generator sets
  • UPS System testing
  • Balancing diesel generator loads for cleaner air emissions

Being first a manufacturer of power resistors, Post Glover has a vast array of resistor elements to choose from. This allows us to offer the best possible technical and economic solution for your particular loadbank application. Our stationary convection or fan cooled load banks, based on our advanced element design, allow more kW in a smaller package.

Post Glover's standard Load Bank offering includes Suitcase Load Banks , Portable Load Banks , Radiator Mounted Load Banks and Stationary Load Banks.
