Simplex Solar-5 Resistive/Reactive Load Bank (5000kVA)

The Simplex Solar-5 Resistive/Reactive Load Bank is ideal for 5MW (5000kVA) application with 0.8 power factor. Multiple units can be networked together and controlled by a single operator interface for even higher capacity requirements.

FEATURES

• Load Capacity: Max capacity of 5 MW (5000 KVA) at 0.8 pf (4000 kW resistive, 3000 KVAR inductive).
• Three Phase Voltage Options: 480V, 600V, 690V, 416V, or 380V.
• Load Step Resolution: 5kW / 3.75kVAR minimum.
• Duty Cycle: Rated for continuous operation.
• System Controls: PLC based digital control with 8-inch color TFT touchscreen operator interface.
• Control Power: Selectable internal from load or from external source.
• Cooling: Forced air, vertical airflow, top exhaust. 3 x 15HP, 3-phase, TEFC motor direct driving cast aluminum fan blades. Circuit breaker combination motor starters. Electrically powered exhaust louvers, via linear actuator, with position indicating output. Manual air intake doors with door limit switches.
• Resistive Load Elements: Simplex Powr Web: Open wire, helically wound, chromium alloy, load element thermally derated to 60%. 5% tolerance, 2% balance. .995 p.f. Element wire mechanically supported over entire length such that if a wire should break, the broken wire segments will not short to adjacent conductors or to ground. UL Recognized.
• Inductive Load Elements: Iron-core, non-saturable air-gap type, with aluminum windings, varnish/epoxy coated. 150C rise. 220C insulation.
• Element Circuit Protection: Branch circuit fuses, each 50KW resistive branch circuit max, 75KVAR inductive circuit max. , 600v, 200kAIC, current limiting type.
• System Protection: Sensors, alarms, lock-outs as appropriate, for the following: Fan Failure, High Exhaust Temperature, High Intake Temperature, Exhaust Louver Open/Closed, Each Louver, Intake Door Open Closed, Access Door Open, Each Door, Fan Motor Overload, and Emergency Stop.
• Load Connections: Plated copper bus bar for bolt-on cable connections behind hinged door AND 400A 4/0 Cam-Lock style plug-in connectors with bulkhead mounted behind hinged door.
• Enclosure: Purpose-built, container style steel enclosure with ISO 20’ container dimensions, corner locking pins. Outdoor weatherproof. Painted dark grey polyurethane over epoxy primer.
• Network Capable: Multiple Solar-5 load banks can be paralleled to achieve virtually any total capacity desired.
