About This Product
Inductive loads draw lagging current, so this bank lets students study reactive power and power factor in three-phase circuits. Switching inductors in and out gives balanced or unbalanced loading, and combining it with other similar load banks provides variable power and power factor loads. The Portable Inductive Load Bank can be supplied on export terms to Syria, Colombia, Malawi, Cabo Verde and Burundi.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Portable Inductive Load Bank be connected in delta?
Yes. The inductors are electrically separate, so they can be connected as a star or a delta load for three-phase circuits.
