Model K580: Resistive

Model K580 Resistive
Trailer Mounted Load Bank

500 to 1250 KW
power test solutions
The K580 Load Bank contains resis-
tive elements and a blower motor
in a rigid structure of formed heavy
gauge aluminized steel. Designed for
outdoor operation and storage, the
K580 utilizes a screened air inlet and
exhaust to protect the motor and
resistive assemblies.
Carefully engineered and manufac-
tured Helidyne resistor elements
are designed to operate at a fraction
of their maximum temperature rating.
This ensures more stable loading,
extends element operating life, and
eliminates the need for a cool down
period after each loading session.
The K580 features the new standard
in Digital Metering which includes
the Avtron Advanced Digital Moni-
toring System (ADMS). The ADMS
meter provides faceplate digital dis-
play of Volts, Amps, Frequency, and
KW. The Communicator EXT Data
Logging Software allows Real Time
Data Acquisition and trending of all
meter parameters from your Laptop
PC or PDA. An Infrared/USB interface
cable is included for Plug and Play
convenience.
The K580 trailer mounted load bank
is ideal for high power mobile test-
ing of AC generating systems at
multiple sites.
Legendary Avtron quality combined
with simple operation and maintenance
will provide years of trouble free service.
Avtrons extensive line of Load Bank
and Industrial Resis tor Products are
solid performers used throughout
the world.

SPECIFICATIONS:
CONSTRUCTION: The load bank enclosure is made of heavy
gauge aluminized steel with a powder coat paint finish. Side
panels have gaskets to protect contactors from the weather.
Horizontal airflow provides a low profile and maximum reli-
ability in an outdoor environment. The trailer features heavy
duty welded construction with steel deck, dual axles, radial
tires, 7000 lbs. GVW, DOT, and ICC road legal. Electric brakes,
3" adjustable lunette eye, and stabilizer jacks are provided.
RESISTOR ELEMENTS: The resistive elements are designed
by Avtron and manufactured of a corrosion resistant chro-
mium alloy wire. Resistive elements are fully supported over
their entire length for maximum reliability.
CONTROLS: The controls and digital metering are housed
in a single NEMA enclosure including a POWER ON-OFF
switch, a POWER ON light, BLOWER ON-OFF push buttons
with a BLOWER FAILURE light, OVERTEMPERATURE light,
MASTER LOAD ON-OFF switch, and load step switches.
DIGITAL METERING: Avtron Advanced
Digital Monitoring System (ADMS) is
provided for display of Volts, Amps, Fre-
quency, and KW. ADMS also includes
Communicator EXT Data Logging
Software.
COOLING: The resistive elements are
air cooled by a self-contained 15 HP
blower rated 208/230 or 460 volts,
3 phase, 60 Hz power. No additional
cooling period is required when load
is removed.
PROTECTION: The K580 differential pressure air switch is
electrically interlocked to remove the load if the air flow is
not sufficient to produce proper cooling. Overtemperature
protection and branch circuit fusing is also provided.
