10MW Portable Medium Voltage Load Bank
ComRent’s new 10MW CR922 portable medium-voltage load bank
is 10 MW at 13.8 kV and 8 MW at 4.16 kV. A 10 MW CR922 load test
requires only one truckload shipment versus four or more trucks using
conventional 480 volt load banks, transformers, and low voltage cables. More truck shipments mean higher rental costs, more rental equipment,
greater labor costs, more logistical headaches, and more set up and tear
down time. ComRent’s medium-voltage load banks, unique in the rental
industry, connect directly at 4,160 and 13,800 Vac, eliminating step
down transformers and low voltage cables. Tests up to 200 MW can be
accomplished without transformers.

ZM100 Distribution Analysis System and Arc-Flash Meter
The ZM100 makes point-to-point measurements of impedances of
distribution systems under actual operating conditions. It also measures
V, I, W, VA, VAR, Pf, and THD. The system comprises a pair of synchronized meters that can resolve small differential voltages in the presence
of fluctuating line voltages. With impedance measurements, overloaded
conductors, saturated transformers, bad connections, carbonized or corroded contacts, the source of voltage sags and (poor) system efficiencies
can be revealed. Importantly, the ZM100 system can recreate one-line
diagrams, provide accurate cable lengths, as well as calculate X and R
values — all necessary for arc-flash studies.

FPU-32 Feeder Protection Unit
The FPU-32 is a microprocessor-based feeder protection unit that
supports both IEC and IEEE inverse-time overcurrent curves. Overload,
current-unbalance, phase-reverse, phase-loss, and earth-fault protection
are also provided. The FPU-32 is compact in size to increase mounting
options, making it ideal for new and retrofit applications. A TIA-232
interface allows access with a personal computer. Optional network
communications provide an interface for a distributed control system.
The FPU-32 provides two setpoint groups that can be preprogrammed
for two different loads or provide more aggressive trip settings to reduce
potential arc-flash energy when personnel are in close proximity to the
