Loading Rheostat 3.5KW Bank
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11315
Quick answer: The Loading Rheostat 3.5 kW Bank is an adjustable resistive-load bank with a rated loading capacity of 3.5 kW. Varying its effective resistance changes the current drawn from a motor-generator set, power supply or training panel, so students can measure voltage, current, real power and regulation under changing load. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for engineering colleges, polytechnics and technical institutes.

Matching the load bank to a test
Before connection, the source is checked against the bank. The power drawn is P = V x I, which must stay within the 3.5 kW rating, so a source at voltage V loaded to full rating delivers I = 3500 / V amperes; that current must also be within the bank's confirmed current rating. Working this out beforehand teaches students to respect equipment ratings as well as to plan their readings.
Once connected, the bank is used like any resistive load. Starting at maximum resistance, the load is increased gradually or in steps while voltage, current and power are recorded, giving the load characteristic, the voltage regulation and, with input measurements, the efficiency of the machine under test.
- Verify the resistance, voltage, current and 3.5 kW ratings.
- Set the control to the minimum-load or maximum-resistance position.
- Isolate the supply and connect the rheostat according to the approved circuit diagram.
- Check terminals and earthing, energise, and increase the load while recording voltage, current and power.

Frequently asked questions
How is the current drawn at 3.5 kW worked out?
Divide the power by the source voltage: I = 3500 / V amperes. The result must stay within the bank's confirmed current rating as well as its 3.5 kW capacity.
How does this bank differ from the three-phase 3.5 kW bank?
This is an adjustable resistive-load bank listed without a three-phase designation; a separate Loading Rheostat 3.5KW Bank Three Phase is listed for three-phase circuits. State the phase and voltage required in the enquiry.
