A particularly sensitive area: testing the power generators of emergency systems,
to ensure the continuity of the power supply
Direct current is highly present in specific applications and embedded systems, through batteries. Depending on the different technologies it is necessary to discharge them regularly to check the capacity of these batteries. There are a lot more regulations than for AC, so KVA Applications accompanies you by designing the right product for your required voltages and amperages.
To ensure permanent operability
Emergency power generators work sporadically when there is a power failure. It is therefore necessary to maintain them regularly so that they are operational when the time comes. Proper operation of backup batteries and generators becomes essential in the event of an electrical failure. The intermittent or permanent coupling of these generators to a KVA Applications load bank is therefore essential to regularly check their readiness.
To respect regulations for the safety of public institutions
In France, the fire regulations for tower blocks open to public impose recurrent tests of backup power supplies, and require to be:
KVA Applications assists you in testing your backup power generators.
A load bank for each backup system
While staff safety has been the driving force behind these regulations, the same logic can apply to sites where power failures could lead to significant financial losses: data centers, high-volume production lines, large-scale farming. Let us mention the power failure suffered by Delta Airlines in 2016, having grounded the entire fleet for a dozen hours because the emergency generators were unable to carry out their mission.
Since more than 20 years, we use KVA Applications load banks. We are fully satisfied with such robust and reliable products
We bought a load bank that works perfectly for the test of our emergency generator.
We bought a reliable and robust bank that has never had any problems since 2011. We like the 1kW resolution as well as the easy handling.
Our KVA Applications test banks have been running 24 hours a day for 2 years. We greatly appreciate the support of KVA throughout this project.
We appreciate the modularity of the KVA banks that enables us to develop a wide range of resistive and inductive load solutions for our installations.
