Saturn-HV-1

Medium Voltage Load Bank Description The Saturn-HV is a self-contained load bank to 15KV utilizing the Simplex Saturn Load Module with on-board dry-type power transformer. It is a freestanding, skidded unit consisting of three principle sections: 1. High voltage section consisting of main input power terminals, high voltage: 480V 3-phase power transformer, low voltage output terminals, and outputs to load cell 2. 480V, low voltage resistive load section consisting of one 15003000KW forced-air cooled load cell 3. Control Section All control circuits and control power supplies are powered internally. The Saturn-HV requires connection of a 3-phase feeder only. Load circuits and cooling fan operate at 480V; control circuits operate at 120V. Input disconnects, fuses, lightning arrestors and potheads available as options. Features • Self-contained load and control system • Utilizes the proven Simplex “PowrWeb” load element (see page 2) • Branch circuit fuse protection of load elements • Digital load control (see page 4) • Comprehensive malfunction detection system • Color coded and numbered wiring; power wiring 150°C • Plated bus bar Saturn-HV with optional Sound Attenuated Base • Vertical airow, exhausts hot air above level of personnel and away from buildings, pavement etc. • Slide-out, tray mounted load elements • Comprehensive overload, short circuit and malfunction protection Benets • Modular enclosure design with separate and isolated control and power sections • Type 3R weatherproof power section, including load elements and cooling fan. • Type 3R weatherproof control section with generous cable connection space, thermally and electrically isolated from resistive load power section. • Highly standardized, based upon extensive product line spanning from 5KW to 3MW • Supported by comprehensive engineering and product support, including detail manuals, 24 hour eld service, availability of start-up services.

Medium Voltage Load Bank • 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.” Each tray...

Medium Voltage Load Bank • Page 4 D-Series, Digital Load Controller With D-Series controllers, the user enjoys a signicant savings of installation cost. Versus traditional analog (toggle switch) panels, connections for remote control are reduced to a single RS-485 or Ethernet Cat-5 cable. Multiple control stations are easily networked. Valuable space is conserved. Reliability is enhanced. With D-Series controllers, data monitoring and acquisition, load bank automation and BMS integration are made simple. The D-Series is networked via MODBUS RTU over RS-485 or Ethernet allowing simple daisy chain...
