When you call us, here’s what we may ask you:

1. What are the technical requirements? (kW, voltage, phase, frequency, power factor, etc.)
2. What is the testing duration and testing sequence?
3. What type of equipment will be tested? (application)
4. Who will be performing the tests?
5. How will heat be dissipated? (vertical or horizontal)
6. What is the total distance between the equipment to be tested and the load banks?
7. Where will the units be delivered?
8. Do you need help with system design or operation?
9. What is the expected rental period? (daily, weekly, monthly)

Call 877.288.4482 to talk to one of our solution experts. If you prefer, you may answer these questions on our printable Technical Requirements PDF Form and submit it to us.
 

Helpful Power Conversions and Electrical Terminology

 
kW: Kilo Watts
     kW = kVA x pf

kVA: Kilo Volt Amperes

pf: Power Factor

kVAR: Kilo Volt Amperes Reactive
     kVAR = √(kVA2—kW2)

Amperes (Resistive) Per Phase
     Amps = (kWx1000)/ (E x √3)

Amperes (Reactive) Per Phase
     Amps = (kVAR x 577)/E

3Ø Voltage Derating: Applied Voltage2 / Rated Voltage2 = D
      D x Rated Capacity = Reduced Rating

1Ø & DC Voltage Derating: Applied Voltage / Rated Voltage = D
     D x Rated Capacity = Reduced Rating
