FAQs
What is a resistive portable AC load bank?
A resistive portable AC load bank is a mobile testing device that applies a controlled electrical load to AC power equipment. It is used to verify performance, capacity, stability, and reliability under load conditions for systems such as generators, UPS systems, switchgear, transformers, and power distribution equipment.
What is TALON™ Edge used for?
TALON™ Edge is used for portable AC load testing, commissioning, acceptance testing, preventive maintenance, and critical power system validation. It helps verify the performance of generators, UPS systems, switchgear, transformers, and power distribution equipment in data centers, utilities, industrial facilities, rental fleets, and field service environments.
Can TALON™ Edge be used for generator load testing?
Yes. TALON™ Edge is designed for generator set commissioning, acceptance testing, and preventive maintenance. Its resistive load design helps apply controlled load to verify generator performance, load response, and system readiness during testing.
Can TALON™ Edge be used for UPS system testing?
Yes. TALON™ Edge can be used for UPS power system testing and validation. It applies controlled AC load to help confirm UPS performance, backup power readiness, load handling, and critical power system reliability.
What kW sizes are available for TALON™ Edge?
TALON™ Edge is available in 110kW, 210kW, 310kW, 410kW, 510kW, and 610kW models. Each model provides 1kW resolution for controlled load-step testing.
What voltage configurations are available?
TALON™ Edge supports multiple 3-phase voltage configurations. Available versions include 480V nominal or 240VAC 3-phase, 3-wire with ground, as well as 480/277VAC nominal or 208/120VAC 3-phase/1-phase, 4-wire with ground configurations.
Does TALON™ Edge support automated test profiles and data logging?
Yes. TALON™ Edge supports local panel operation or PC-based control. Depending on the test setup, users can run manual load steps, automated test profiles, real-time monitoring, data logging, trend review, and report exporting.
