This allows students to create and study the effects of balancedor unbalanced resistive loads. Each bank of resistors includes a thermallyoperated circuit-breaker to protect the loads. Studentscan use this load bank in combination with the other similar load banks toprovide variable power and power factor loads. The other load banks areCapacitive and Inductive. The enclosure has ventilation holes and carryinghandles for portability. The Portable Resistive Load Bank is a robust steel enclosurethat contains three banks of switchable resistive loads. Each bank of resistorsis electrically separate, so they can connect as a star or delta load forthree-phase circuits. Each bank has a set of switches to bring each resistorinto circuit. Students connect the loads toexperiment circuits using safety sockets on the enclosure front panel.
