3000 kW Trailer-Ready Outdoor Load Bank

$0.00

Manufacturer: Avtron Power Solutions (Model 5900)

Overview

The Avtron 5900 is a high-capacity 3000 kW outdoor resistive load bank engineered for mission-critical testing of large generators, paralleling switchgear, UPS systems, turbine packages, microgrids, and industrial electrical infrastructure. Designed for continuous, outdoor-rated operation, the 5900 delivers unity-power-factor loading from 5 kW up to 3000 kW with no cool-down period required.

Built with heavy-gauge aluminized steel, high-velocity blower systems, redundant airflow protection, and integrated safety controls, the 5900 Load Bank is ideal for utility providers, power-generation OEMs, industrial plants, data centers, and rental power fleets requiring reliable full-load testing.

Key Features

  • 3000 kW resistive load capacity at unity power factor

  • 480 VAC, 3-phase, 60 Hz (rated), with operation possible at lower voltages

  • 5 kW load step resolution for precise load control

  • Outdoor-rated, continuous-duty construction

  • Two 20 HP blower motors providing 32,000 CFM cooling airflow

  • Multiple safety interlocks: airflow switches, overtemperature sensors, motor overload protection

  • Heavy-duty aluminized steel enclosure with hinged weatherproof louvers

  • Forklift-ready base with pad-mounting bolt holes

  • Local operator interface with status indicators and STOP/RESET safety control

  • Designed for large-scale commissioning, performance verification, and utility-grade load testing
