Load banks are essential tools for testing and verifying the performance of power systems — especially standby generators. By applying a controlled, simulated electrical load, a load bank allows operators to assess how a generator or power system will perform under real-world conditions.
While Foxfab does not rent or operate load banks, we manufacture Load Bank Connection Cabinets that make routine testing safe, fast, and code-compliant — especially in mission-critical environments.
A load bank mimics the actual load that a power system would experience during operation. This allows technicians to:
Load banks simulate full-capacity demand to validate generator performance. They help uncover issues with fuel systems, alternators, or control panels before a generator is put into service — or relied on in a power outage.
In engine manufacturing and production environments, load banks are used to apply mechanical load through a dynamometer. This verifies that new engines are performing efficiently before deployment.
In live environments, load banks are essential for routine maintenance. They:
Manufacturers often use load banks to demonstrate generator capabilities to customers. This validates system performance and supports written verification in procurement contracts.
Unplanned power failures can disrupt essential services and create safety risks. Load bank testing ensures your standby power system can:
Industries that rely on it include:
To perform a load test, you need a safe, fast, and permanent connection point between the generator and the temporary load bank. That’s where Foxfab Load Bank Connection Cabinets come in.
Foxfab solutions are:
Our cabinets are built to handle the rigours of industrial and mission-critical testing — whether it’s monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Load bank testing plays a key role in generator reliability — but having the right infrastructure in place is just as important. Foxfab’s connection cabinets make it simple to test safely, on time, and without interrupting operations.
