Load and test resistors – Load banks for locomotives
Load resistors to test generators and locomotives
High power, DC voltage and compact design are often important properties in load resistors for performance testing of generators on locomotives. Load resistors in container design are often used in these power ranges (> 2 MW). As there is often not enough space between the rails, we use flexible resistors in this sector. These have the advantage of withstanding extremely high load in spite of their compact design.
