WALT POWER delivered a 100kW portable resistive load bank to Australia. Weighing just 39kg, this model is designed for applications where technicians need to transport and set up load testing equipment at different locations.
The unit is configured for 415V, 50Hz, three-phase operation and offers both local control and Windows PC-based monitoring. Its compact, lightweight design makes it a practical option for generator maintenance and field load testing.

Why a 39kg Portable Load Bank Matters
For generator service companies and maintenance contractors, moving test equipment between sites can be a practical challenge.
At 39kg, this 100kW portable load bank is easier to transport and position than many larger load bank systems. It is particularly useful when testing equipment must be moved between different generator installations.
However, portability does not eliminate the need for proper setup. Operators must provide adequate ventilation, maintain safe clearance around the equipment, and follow the specified electrical connection requirements.
Load Steps and Control Options
The unit provides four resistive load steps: 10kW, 20kW, 20kW, and 50kW.
These steps can be combined to apply different test loads up to the rated 100kW capacity, allowing technicians to increase or decrease the load according to the test procedure.
The load bank supports local operation and Windows PC-based monitoring and control. Test data can be saved and printed for subsequent review.
Applications for Generator Load Testing
A portable 100kW resistive load bank can be used for scheduled generator maintenance, post-repair testing, and verification of generator performance under controlled resistive loads.
For Australian applications, the 415V, 50Hz, three-phase configuration is an important specification to confirm before ordering.
At WALT POWER, we recommend checking the generator's output voltage and frequency, required testing capacity, load step arrangement, electrical connections, and site ventilation conditions before selecting a load bank.
The right load bank is not simply the one with the highest kW rating. It must also suit the generator and the conditions in which the testing will take place.
