Load bank cables are designed to safely and efficiently transmit high-current electrical energy, while dissipating the heat generated by the load bank through a cooling system, thereby ensuring a stable and reliable testing process.

 

Materials and Structure: Features a highly conductive copper core, encased in a high-temperature-resistant insulation layer and outer sheath; certain industrial-grade cables also incorporate armor for enhanced mechanical protection.

 

Current-Carrying Capacity: Selection must be based on the rated current of the load bank; for instance, a 1000 kW / 480 V three-phase load bank requires cables capable of supporting ≥ 1200 A per phase.

 

System Voltage Compatibility: The rated voltage of the cables must be compatible with both the load bank and the power supply system.

 

Cooling Integration: The cables themselves do not actively dissipate heat; instead, they rely on ambient ventilation or the load bank's internal cooling system for indirect temperature reduction.
