Superior Avtron quality combined with
simple operation and maintenance will
provide years of trouble free service.
Avtron’s extensive line of Load Bank and
Industrial Resis tor Products are solid
performers used throughout the world.
The Avtron Model K841B Load Bank is designed for indoor
and outdoor installation for use with resistive load bank.
The Avtron K841B load bank is designed to be used in combination with resistive load banks to
provide loading of AC power sources at less than unity power factor. The K841B is used to test
diesel generator sets, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), and other AC power sources that
require testing at less than 1.0 p.f.
Application example: An inductive/reactive load bank is intended to be used in conjunction with
a resistive load bank to test a generator or power source at 0.8 power factor (p.f.) (lagging). To
achieve a 0.8 p.f., the reactive load bank should be sized at 75% of the resistive load bank KW
rating. The resistive and reactive load banks are connected and operated in parallel.
The load bank contains single phase and 3 phase iron core reactors and a blower motor housed in a
rigid structure of formed heavy gauge steel. Designed for indoor or outdoor installation, the K841B
is equipped with inlet screens between the structural members in the bottom of the unit. Channels
provided in the base structure facilitate handling by forklift truck from all four directions.
The K841B load bank is available from 103 to 1875 KVAR with load steps ranging from 3.75 to 375
KVAR. Standard voltage ratings are 480 volts, 3 phase, 60 Hz and dual voltage units of 240/480
volts. The load bank is designed for 480 volts, 60 Hz operation may be operated at 380-415 volts,
50 Hz, with load steps derated at approximately 86% of the rated KVAR load steps.
A standard 19" [482.6] rack mounted control panel is provided and is available with an optional
enclosure. The control circuit and cooling fan power is 120 volts, single phase, 60 Hz.

Construction
Heavy gauge steel enclosure provides a rigid
structure with removable aluminized steel
panels for interior access. The base of the
unit features forklift channels for simplified
handling.
Cooling
The K841B contains a cooling fan to aid the
convection cooled reactors. The cooling fan
requires a power source of 120 volts, single
phase, 60 Hz.
Controls
The K841B control circuit requires 120 volts,
single phase, 60 Hz power. The standard 19"
rack-mount control panel includes a POWER
ON-OFF switch, BLOWER ON-OFF switch, a
POWER ON light, a MASTER LOAD ON-OFF
switch, a VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch (if applicable), and individual load step toggle
switches.
Reactors
Single and 3 phase iron core reactors are
designed for 130°C rise in a 50°C environment
with a maximum of 5% waveform distortion
and 0.05 p.f.
Protection
Each load step is fused using UL class T fuses
with 200,000 AIC rating. Each 3 phase reactor contains a normally closed thermal
switch in each coil. The load bank enclosure is
equipped with thermal switches. All thermal
switches are interconnected with the load
application control circuit.
