Automatic Load Banks
Automatic load bank that adds or sheds kW to keep yacht generator sets properly loaded, with PLC touch-screen controller and fresh water cooled heat transfer module.
Description
Northern Lights automatic load banks supply supplemental electrical load so that generator sets keep running at optimal performance when large AC consumers, such as bow thrusters or zero-speed stabilizers, are offline. This avoids the smoke, soot and low efficiency of lightly loaded diesels.
Key features
- Two main parts: a controller and a fresh water cooled heat transfer module
- Monitors power on each leg of the generator output and adds or sheds kW according to pre-set parameters
- Standard PLC controller with full color touch screen
- Can monitor multiple generator sets, fresh and raw water flow, and custom alarms
Applications
Yachts and vessels with large intermittent electrical loads.
