Key Features
- Dissipates up to 3.5 kW (3,500 W) continuously as heat.
- Multiple heavy-duty toggle switches for step-by-step loading.
- Works on DC or single-phase AC from 110 to 240 V.
- Industrial fans give forced-air cooling.
- Over-temperature thermal cutout and a master circuit breaker.
Technical Specifications

How It Is Used
The source under test is connected to the bank and the toggle switches are closed in turn to raise the load. Measuring output voltage and current at each step shows how the machine or supply regulates, and the test also illustrates power dissipation and the need for cooling in high-wattage loads.
