Product catalog summary
General Presentation
Load banks are devices used to apply electrical loads to equipment for testing purposes. They range from simple resistor assemblies to complex systems for applications like battery discharge testing and aerospace generator testing. Load selection can be manual, remote, or electronic, with features for data recording and device interfacing.
Main Features
The document emphasizes the design and reliability of load banks, focusing on their power, current, and voltage handling capabilities. Specific alloys are used for resistance wires to ensure durability. Both standard models and custom designs are available to meet customer needs.
Standard Series
Coudoint offers several series of load banks, including:
  • 6 kW hand-transportable battery discharge testers (DVIM, DMIM, DNIM series)
  • 12 kW hand-transportable battery discharge testers (DVTM, DMTM, DNTM series)
  • 16 kW automatic hand-transportable load banks (DXVA series)
  • 45 kW automatic load banks (DXLA series)
  • 150 kW automatic load banks (DCLA series)
These models can be customized to meet specific requirements.
6 kW Hand-Transportable Battery Discharge Testers
The DVIM, DMIM, and DNIM series are designed for manual load step selection and are hand-transportable. They feature forced-air cooling and are available for 12, 28, and 48 volts, with specific mechanical and electrical features, safety features, and customization options.
12 kW Hand-Transportable Battery Discharge Testers
The DVTM and DMTM series use woven and wirewound resistors respectively, with forced-air cooling, designed for higher power applications, offering similar customization options as the 6 kW series.
