• Outdoor Installation mobile high power testing.
• Temperature Controlled Weather- The contactors are enclosed in a thermostatically controlled heated compartment to help
proof Contactor Compartment prevent problems caused by condensation. This compartment is sealed with a rubber gasket
to protect the components from environmental contamination.
• No Cool Down Period
Required The K575A load bank contains resistive elements and a blower motor in a rigid structure of
formed heavy gauge steel. Designed for outdoor installation, the K575A utilizes a screened
• Optional DC Designs air inlet and exhaust louver to protect the motor and resistive assemblies.
