Loading Rheostat 6.5KW Bank
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11310
Quick answer: The Loading Rheostat 6.5 kW Bank is a resistive load bank with a stated power capacity of 6.5 kW. It applies a real-power load to a generator or alternator, turning the absorbed energy into heat, so students can compare no-load and loaded operation and measure terminal voltage, output power and efficiency. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for engineering colleges, polytechnics and technical institutes.

How the load bank is used for machine tests
A resistive load takes only real power, P = V x I, all of it turned into heat. That makes a generator's output easy to measure: the electrical power delivered is simply the product of the load voltmeter and ammeter readings, with no power factor to account for.
In an efficiency test on a motor-generator set, the input to the drive motor is measured while the load bank is increased step by step. Overall efficiency at each step is the generator's electrical output divided by that input. Plotting it against load current shows efficiency rising steeply from no load and then levelling off as the load approaches the machine's rating.
- Check the voltage, current, phase and power ratings of the bank against the machine.
- Place the bank where air can circulate freely around it, away from anything affected by heat.
- With the machine stopped, connect the bank through an ammeter and voltmeter.
- Run the machine to rated speed and voltage, apply the load in steps, and record input and output readings at each step.

Frequently asked questions
Why use a resistive load bank for generator efficiency tests?
A resistive load draws current in phase with the voltage, so the generator's output power is simply V x I. That keeps the efficiency calculation straightforward.
What happens to the power absorbed by the load bank?
It is converted into heat in the resistance elements, which is why the bank needs free ventilation and should be operated within its rated duty.
