UPS Load Bank Testing

Adept Power Solutions recommends an annual Load Bank Test of your UPS system and this test can be provided during your annual UPS service or as a standalone visit. A load bank provides a resistive load to your UPS and battery system providing proof of concept of your power protection infrastructure in a controlled environment. 

What is UPS Load Bank Testing?

UPS Load Bank Testing involves using a specialised device (the load bank) to apply a controlled electrical load to your UPS system. This process tests the system's ability to deliver power under maximum stress, verifying its performance and identifying any potential weaknesses. It simulates a complete power outage scenario, allowing us to assess the UPS and battery's capabilities in a safe, controlled environment.

Why You Need UPS Load Bank Testing:

  • Verify System Capacity: Ensures your UPS can handle its rated load, guaranteeing reliable backup power during a real outage.
  • Identify Potential Weaknesses: Detect potential issues and areas for improvement before a critical failure occurs.
  • Ensure Battery Performance: Evaluate battery runtime and performance under load, confirming their health and reliability.
  • Maintain System Reliability: Regular testing ensures your UPS system remains in peak condition, maximising uptime.
  • Prevent Unexpected Downtime: Proactively addresses potential issues, minimising the risk of costly disruptions.
  • Compliance and Peace of Mind: Provides documented proof of system functionality and performance.

The load bank test not only identifies potential issues in a safe environment but also allows for prompt corrective measures, ensuring your UPS system performs reliably when needed in real-life scenarios. This test can be scheduled outside normal working hours to minimize risks following battery discharge.
