K696 / K696A
250 kW Portable Load Bank
• Portable for load testing at multiple sites
• Easy to transport and operate
• Large load capacity—up to 250 kW
• Rugged aluminized steel enclosure with casters
• Convenient operator controls with digital metering standard
Product Details
• The K696 load bank is a portable, self-contained unit that simulates electrical loads. It is ideal for load testing of stand-by diesel generating systems or for testing of Uninterruptible Power
Supplies (UPS), turbines, or engine generator sets. This model provides resistive loading up to 250 kW at either 240/480 VAC, or 300/600 VAC in a convenient, and easy-to-use package.
• The load bank features horizontal air discharge to provide a low profile for easy entry through doorways. The unit is simple to set up and operate by a single technician, saving valuable time in the field.
An optional control power transformer is also available for sites where 120 VAC power is not readily available.
• The K696 load bank incorporates state-of-the-art design features, including a heavy gauge aluminized steel enclosure, continuously supported resistor elements on stainless steel rods and an industrial blower. ISO 9001 quality combined with simple operation and maintenance will provide years of trouble free service.
Great for Testing
The K696 load bank is ideal for routine testing and maintenance of AC power sources such as emergency stand-by generators and UPS systems.

Load Bank Specifications:
• CONSTRUCTION: A compact aluminized steel enclosure with screened inlet and exhaust openings houses the K696 load bank. Two fixed and two lockable swivel casters provide mobility. Requires control power of 120 VAC, single-phase, 60 Hz (control transformer optional).
• COOLING: The resistive elements are air-cooled by an integrally mounted 3-phase blower (250 kW or 400 kW unit) or a single-phase blower rated 120 VAC (200 kW unit).
• CONTROLS/METERING: The operator control panel includes a MASTER LOAD ON-OFF switch, LOAD
STEP ON-OFF industrial toggle switches, BLOWER
ON-OFF push buttons, with a BLOWER FAILURE light, and BLOWERS AND LOAD VOLTAGE selector switches (dual voltage units only). A digital power metering unit to measure volts, amps, frequency and kW is standard.
• SAFETY CIRCUITS: The K696 load bank features branch circuit fusing on all load steps. Wrong voltage protection, motor overload protection, over-temperature protection and cooling air loss protection.
• WEIGHT: Approximately 552 lbs. (250 kg) [400 kW].
