Description
The Simplex PowerStar Portable Load
Bank is an ultra-compact, lightweight,
versatile test instrument specially
designed for manufacturers, dealers and
users of small AC power systems, to
110KW nominal. It is suitable for testing
engine generators, wind generators,
UPS systems, ground power units,
auxiliary power units, static inverters
or virtually any other AC power source
on the production line, in the service
shop or in the fi eld. It can be applied
at all common AC voltages to 480V
maximum, 50-60 Hertz, single or
3-phase.
The Powerstar is a digitally controlled
load bank with network capability. All
control is via a hand-held touchscreen
controller connected to the load bank
via a supplied RS-232 network cable.
The load bank includes a digital
power transducer with meter displays
on the touchscreen. Load is applied
via a screen keypad. Any number
of Powerstar Load Banks can be
networked together via RS-232 cables
connected from the “out” connector on
the fi rst unit to the “in” connector on the
next, and then “out-to-in” in succession
until the desired number of units are
connected. All control and metering
is provided from a single hand-held
controller. All instrumentation values
for the total network are summed and
displayed on the master controller.
The PowerStar is highly portable and
easily transported to the job site. The
Load Bank includes casters, lifting and
moving handles. Power connections are
plug-in to Cam-Lok connectors. Control
and cooling fan power is obtained from
a common 115v, 15A outlet via the
included connection cord.
The PowerStar is a fully self-contained
and portable testing system. It includes
integral cooling fans and control circuits,
which can operate from a supplied 120V
control power cord.
