AC Resistive-Reactive Load Banks
To test at conditions replicating a lagging power factor and to ensure complete engine and alternator test a resistive-reactive load bank is essential.
Crestchic design and manufacture a wide range of fixed or variable power factor resistive-reactive load banks in standard frames sizes & containers, from 50kVA to 6250kVA, built to your specific voltage, frequency and phase requirements.
All our load banks employ stainless steel finned elements for maximum heat dissipation and durability.
