MGEC designs, manufactures and supplies resistors for a various wide range of technical application and with ratings from 10 W up to several megawatts.
State-of-the-art! production processes
Whether on land or at sea – the application of our resistors is manifold. The examples of utilisation on the following pages provide an insight into the scope of application in different industries and business sectors. Our sales engineers are happy to advise about the feasibilities and technical backgrounds.
The production of our resistors is based on our state-of- the-art manufacturing methods. By means of simulation models resistant materials are optimally utilized in the manufacturing process – permitting a cost optimized production of resistors directly benefitting our customers. Implementing high-end machines like CNC-controlled laser and die-cutting systems working in shifts round the clock permits satisfaction for high demands of units, even on short notice.
Overview of our products
PORTABLE LOAD BANK – THE TEST RESISTOR UP TO 30 KW FOR FLEXIBLE SERVICE ASSIGNMENTS
The easy to transport load banks of these series are available with an output up to 30 kW and ideally suited for flexible service assignments. Depending on the type they can be used to test voltage values up to 3×400 VAC or 690 VDC. We also provide voltage pick-ups with those systems and further optional equipment. Due to its low net weight, easy operation and transportation facility, this model is a must for any service technician carrying out stress tests. The housing with IP 20 protection class are made of stainless steel and all versions have handlebars and supporting feet.
SMALL MOBILE LOAD BANKS – SMART UP TO 20 KW
The small load banks were developed especially for easy mobility. These load banks meet the needs of a power range from 5 up to 20 kW. The compact design as well as the handlebars and swivel castors guarantee easy transport and handling. With devices of this series you can quickly execute load tests at any time and any place. For easy handling the level increments are chosen directly by manual switches on the device. The load connection takes place via the externally accessible insulated toggle clamps. In order to ensure independence from external supply voltage, all types of these series are self-ventilated.
SMALL MOBILE LOAD BANKS – SMART UP TO 250 KW
The load banks series are compact and easy to dismantle into 3 components in just a few simple steps. While the large types EASY XL (output range 150/200/250 kW) require a van for transport, the resistors of the type EASY (output range 50/75/100 kW) just need a passenger vehicle for easy transport. Depending on the version these load resistors can be used for up to 3×400 VAC or 920 VDC. The installation and connection of this series are done quickly and only need a few steps. A stable transport frame with lockable swivel castors enables flexible use in direct proximity of the test sample. All load levels of our load banks are secured and will be switched off in case of a fan fault. We gladly finish customized colors or print your company name.
Testing resistors – Move up to 1000 KW
The load banks of the this series are of modularly constructed and designed for an output from 100 kW up to 1000 kW. The individual load levels are installed as plug-in units into a resistance tunnel. Load banks of this type can be adjusted with a control box to a precision of 1kW. This control box can easily be manufactured as remote control with a cable length of 100 m. The load increments have a very low temperature coefficient thanks to the use of special stainless steel, which allows the chosen load to remain nearly constant even in case of warming of the resistor elements. A special design and the arrangement of elements enable a low air outlet temperature also in case of full load selection. The housing of the load bank can be provided for both, as permanent fixed position or as mobile version on reels.
Testing resistors – Mobile up TO 2000 KW
The mobile load banks of the series are mounted on a trailer. Variable trailer versions are available for both, passenger vehicles and trucks. The load resistors of these series cover the load range up to 2000 kW. The active load can be combined with inductive or with capacitive load steps. An extreme constant heat distribution can be achieved in the resistance tunnel, first by the use of special stainless steel with a very low temperature coefficient for the resistor elements and secondly by the effective arrangement of all components.
The operation of the resistor units can be done either via conventional switches or via SPS control. The trailer includes the integrated switchgear control. The installation of all systems is carried out according to customer’s requirements. The individual switching stages, cable harnesses as well as operation via remote control are tailored to your needs.
Resistors either being fabricated by MGEC or it can delivered from our partners!
