Avtron LCV
Resistive/Reactive Load Bank - 3125 to 6250 KVA
Testing Your Emergency Standby
Generator with a Load Bank Means
Reliability When it Matters Most.
Key Features
•Highest Capacity in the Industry
•Provides Resistive and Reactive
Loading
•Rugged ISO Style Container
•PLC Based Load Control
•Local and Remote Load Control
The Avtron Model LCV Load Bank is used for high power
resistive/reactive testing of AC generating systems.
The Avtron LCV load bank is designed to provide high capacity resistive and reactive loading
of AC power systems such as diesel generator sets, turbines, or Uninterruptible Power Supplies
(UPS). Many specifications and local codes demand that such testing be performed at less
than unity power factor, typically 0.8 p.f. lagging. The LCV load bank is ideal for high power
resistive and reactive testing of AC generating systems in factory production lines or in the
field after installation.
The LCV load bank combines resistive load (KW) with reactive load (KVAR) to achieve a 0.8 p.f.
This combination provides a true test of the actual generator or UPS nameplate rating (KVA)
and simulates a “real-world” load.
The LCV incorporates state-of-the-art load bank design features with the highest capacity in
the industry (20' [6096] container). The resistor elements, iron-core reactors, blowers, and
controls are all manufactured from the highest quality components available.
•Easy Interconnection and
Operation
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 Resis­tor Products are solid
performers used throughout the world.

Cooling
The resistive elements are cooled by integrally mounted blower motors each rated
10 HP, 460 VAC, 3 phase, 60 Hz.
Controls
The LCV load bank features both local and
remote load control. The remote hand held
controller is rugged and compact (7"x 7"x 2").
The controller is easy to operate and load
values are activated by pressing a membrane
style keypad. All resistive and reactive functions are displayed on a LCD display. A hard
wired E-stop push button is also provided.
The remote controller communicates with
the Load Bank PLC via 200' of control cable in
(2) 100' increments with MS style connectors.
