Each Avtron unit is safety checked for opens and shorts, and the insulation is high potential tested to
ensure safe operation. All fuses, safety interlocks, and related safety equipment have been proven
reliable as part of the testing procedure of each unit.
As part of your safety program, an initial inspection after receiving the unit(s) and periodic
preventive maintenance and safety inspections should be conducted to ensure the reliability and
safety built into your Avtron equipment.
The Model K875A Load Bank is an industrial test unit designed to be used outdoors safely with an
exhaust hood. The unit should not be installed indoors. Because the function of the Load Bank is to
dissipate electrical energy, there are inherent dangers to operators and equipment. These dangers are
outlined in this section.
Electrical energy is transformed into heat by the resistors. This heat must be removed from the Load
Bank by the cooling fans/blowers. If there is any restriction or stoppage of airflow, the Load Bank
will overheat and may start a fire. It is recommended that:
1.
The operator should read the manual before using the Load Bank.
2.
Run an approved ground wire from the Load Bank ground bus bar to the generator frame.
Run an approved ground wire from the generator frame to a good earth ground. Size ground
wire in accordance with National Electrical Code and any local codes.
3.
Do not bypass the airflow safety switch or exhaust over-temperature switch to prevent
nuisance tripping.
