Medical facilities, from ventilators to critical data servers, require absolute power stability. A brief outage risks patient lives, data loss, and operational shutdown. Thus, load banks are essential for ensuring foolproof medical power systems, guaranteeing redundant system reliability and strict compliance.
Prevent Wet Stacking & Optimize Generator Performance: Running generators at full load actively prevents “wet stacking,” enhancing combustion efficiency and ensuring reliable, long-term power output.
Validate Control Systems & Switchgear: Simulate real-world power demands to comprehensively test control panels and switchgear, confirming their precise and reliable response in critical emergency scenarios.
Guarantee Emergency Startup Readiness: Conduct regular “black start” testing to verify that standby generators can swiftly and stably assume full load within 10-15 seconds of a main power outage.
Maintain Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Reliability: Frequent operation of the ATS ensures smooth and precise load management for critical equipment (e.g., elevators, HVAC systems) during power transfers, extending its operational lifespan.
Optimize UPS Battery Health & Longevity: Utilize DC load banks for regular discharge cycles to accurately assess UPS battery performance, ensuring maximum backup power duration when critical.
Continuously assess changes in electricity demand: Perform comprehensive load testing to track and adapt to shifts in the building’s total power demand, such as HVAC upgrades, lift installations, or generator modifications, ensuring system compatibility.
