Load Resistor Box

Dufew Load Resistor Box is a professional resistive load testing device designed to simulate electrical loads for UPS systems, generators, inverters, power supplies, and energy storage equipment. By combining multiple resistor units with independent load circuits, it enables flexible load adjustment for no-load, partial-load, full-load, and overload testing. With power ratings up to 30KW, resistance values from 0.01Ω to 1KΩ, and customizable configurations, it provides reliable solutions for factory testing, aging tests, and laboratory verification.

A Load Resistor Box is an electrical testing device that uses resistor elements to simulate actual power consumption conditions of electrical equipment. By converting electrical energy into controlled heat during operation, it allows engineers to evaluate output stability, load capacity, overload response, protection functions, and long-term operating reliability.

Unlike braking resistor solutions that are mainly designed to absorb regenerative energy from motor deceleration, a load resistor box functions as a controllable test load for verifying the performance of power sources and power conversion equipment.

Product Structure and Working Principle

The internal resistor assembly consists of multiple corrugated resistor elements arranged through series and parallel connections to achieve different load configurations. Independent load sections allow users to adjust testing conditions by switching different resistor groups without changing the overall hardware structure.

The working process can be described as:

Power Equipment Output → Load Resistor Box Input → Resistor Load Consumption → Performance Data Evaluation

The enclosure is manufactured with aluminum-zinc coated steel sheet, providing mechanical protection, efficient heat dissipation, corrosion resistance, and convenient installation. A dedicated terminal block is integrated for external electrical connection, while optional forced air cooling is available for applications requiring continuous high-power operation.

Designed for Power Equipment Testing

UPS Performance Verification

The equipment provides controlled load conditions for verifying UPS rated output capability, overload response, voltage stability, and long-duration operating performance. By applying different load levels, engineers can evaluate UPS behavior under conditions that more closely represent actual operating requirements.

Generator Testing

As an artificial electrical load, the equipment can be used to verify generator capacity before commissioning or during scheduled maintenance. Typical applications include diesel generator testing, backup power system inspection, and factory acceptance testing, helping confirm output performance under defined load conditions.

Inverter and Power Supply Testing

The controlled resistive load allows engineers to evaluate output current capability, thermal performance, protection functions, and long-term operating reliability of inverters and power supplies. Adjustable load conditions also support testing at different stages of equipment operation.

Energy Storage System Testing

The system provides controlled discharge loads for battery systems, PCS equipment, and energy management systems, allowing engineers to assess discharge performance and operating stability under specified electrical conditions.

Main Features

Independent Load Section Control

The internal circuits are divided into multiple independent load groups, allowing power to be adjusted progressively according to the required test profile. This configuration supports flexible load combinations, repeatable testing conditions, and easier fault isolation when individual sections require inspection.

Multiple Operating Conditions Simulation

The system can reproduce different load conditions, from light-load operation through full-load and short-term overload testing, allowing engineers to evaluate equipment performance across a broader operating range.

Test Condition Purpose
Light Load Verify low-power operation
Half Load Check medium-load performance
Full Load Confirm rated capacity
Overload Evaluate protection capability

AC and DC Compatible Design

The integrated terminal structure can be configured for both AC and DC testing applications, providing greater flexibility when testing different types of power equipment. With a maximum working voltage of 1200V, the system can accommodate a range of industrial power testing requirements without requiring changes to the basic resistor structure.

Installation Guide

1. Confirm Specification

Before installation, select the appropriate power rating, resistance value, and protection grade according to the tested equipment output power, required test conditions, and installation environment. Proper specification matching is essential for safe energy dissipation during testing.

2. Check Equipment Condition

Inspect the enclosure, terminal blocks, and cooling system before installation to confirm that the equipment is intact and ready for operation. Any visible damage or abnormality should be addressed before electrical connection.

3. Select Installation Location

Install the equipment in a well-ventilated location with sufficient clearance for heat dissipation. The installation area should be kept away from flammable materials, restricted airflow conditions, and excessive humidity that could affect safe operation.

4. Fix the Equipment

Use the mounting holes provided on the enclosure to securely install the unit on the floor or designated test platform. The mounting structure should be suitable for the equipment weight and operating conditions.

5. Electrical Connection

Connect the output terminals of the tested equipment to the load input terminals according to the supplied wiring diagram. For DC applications, polarity must be confirmed, while all terminal connections should be properly tightened and connected with cables suitable for the expected current.

6. Testing Operation

After verifying the complete electrical connection, begin testing at a low load level and gradually increase the active load sections according to the test procedure. During operation, monitor resistor temperature and other relevant operating conditions to ensure the equipment remains within the specified range.
