Portabank Portable Resistive Load bank

PortaBank™ PBX295 is a new, lightweight addition to Mosebach's load bank family.

The PortaBank™ PBX295 is a continuous duty, portable, lightweight load bank that is easily transported, set up and operated by one technician.

The PortaBank™ PBX295 can be used for testing generators, UPS systems and static inverters up to 295kW.

Standard voltages available are 480/240/208V and 600V 3 phase, 240/120V 1 phase, 50/60Hz. A 200V 3 phase, 400Hz option is also available.

Mosebach has a long history in the rail and mining industries, where its resistors are used in large power (4,000 kW typical) dynamic brake systems. Thousands of our resistors are used daily in locomotives and giant mining trucks in the USA and around the world.

Mosebach has taken its expertise in large power resistors and applied it to these smaller power load banks. Specifically, we have developed the SlimLine™ resistor, which has superior insulation and heat transfer capabilities. The resistor element is a stamped stainless steel plate held in place with mica insulators. There is no ceramic to shatter, no metal rods to short- circuit, and no bailing wire to cause a cascade failure of the load bank's resistors.

FEATURES:

Mechanical
  • Rugged steel enclosure with scratch-resistant powder-coat paint system.
  • Portable, lightweight construction with casters, lifting eyes and lift truck channels make it easy to maneuver.
  • Four glove-ready handles for moving and lifting.
Electrical
  • Digital meter (50/60 Hz) to indicate volts, amps, kW, frequency and more. Option for 400Hz voltages. Option for data logging capability.
  • Switches for master/blowers on/off, voltage selection, and steps on/off.
  • Test jacks for voltages.
  • Airflow and overtemperature indication lamps.
  • Steps are controlled by magnetic contactors.
  • Power circuit fuses.
  • Control power by customer: 120V, 1 phase, 60Hz under 15A. Control circuit fuses are included to protect fans, contactor coils and meter.
  • Customer connection is via color coded cam-lock terminals for easy and safe connect and disconnect.
Cooling
  • High-speed axial fans, 120V, blowing horizontally.
