Load Cube-1

LOAD CUBE 2500KW Load Bank System Description The Simplex Load Cube is an ultralarge capacity , fully portable, resistive/ reactive Load Bank System intended for eld use in testing, maintenance and performance proving of large generating systems. The Load Cube is rated 2500kw, 1875kvar at 400-600v commercial AC voltages. The Load Cube is typically used to test large diesel generators, turbines, paralleled generators and shipboard generators. With a purpose-built design consisting of rugged, all-welded, tubular steel frame, heavy gauge steel sides, guarded hinged doors, power-operated ventilation louvers, the Load Cube is far superior to designs which use refurbished and modied ISO shipping containers. Four-sided access allows ready service of all components and facilitates the ultra-compact design. Compact and easily transportable, the Load Cube is ideal for rental use. With a footprint of only 8 x 10 feet and a height of less than 9 feet, the Load Cube is easily transportable by conventionalheight at bed trailer. Lifting eyes and forklift channels simplify site movement. The Load Cube utilizes digital load control for direct access of load values, block transitions, and user programmable automation. A selection of digital power meters and data acquisition software is available. The Simplex Load Cube represents the ultimate technology in large generator load testing performance. 3125 kva, 0.8 power factor; 2500kw, resistive; 1875 kvar, inductive 60 Hertz, 50 Hertz available LOAD STEPS: Digital load control, 10 kw, 7.5 kvar resolution. Circuits of 10–20–20–50–100–100–200–250–250–500–1000 kw 7.5–15–15–37.5–75–75–150–187.5–187.5–375–750 kvar DUTY CYCLE: AMBIENT TEMP.: 125°F EXHAUST RISE: AIRFLOW: Approx 60,000 cfm divided between two cooling fans CONTROL POWER: Internal, derived from power source under load. 480-3-60vAC. Control circuits at 120v via internal isolation transformer. Fan motor load: 2 x 10hp, 13A. Control power load: 3.0 kva, 6.25A.

LOAD CUBE 2500KW Load Bank System • Page 2 Powr-Web Resistive Load Element Description Simplex Load Banks utilize “PowrWeb” load elements. The “Powr-Web” is an advanced design, air-cooled power resistor specically designed for application to Load Bank systems. The “Powr-Web” is conservatively operated at half the maximum temperature rating of the alloy and features a short-circuitsafe design based on continuous mechanical support of the element by high temperature, ceramic clad stainless steel rods. The “Power Webs” are assembled into discrete trays which are assembled in a vertical “stack.”...
