13-Unit AC-DC Load Banks Delivered for Aviation System Ground Load Simulation Testing

View: views


Recently, Shenzhen Zenithsun Electronics Tech. Co., Ltd. has successfully delivered a complete set of customized AC-DC load bank equipment for a key project. The delivery comprises 13 units in total: 12 sets of AC-DC load banks plus 1 set of R-L-C resistive-inductive-capacitive load bank, together with matched air-duct cooling systems. The complete system is deployed for ground-based load simulation testing of aviation systems, delivering a stable and reliable load-simulation solution for R&D and validation of aviation ground power supplies.

Designed for standard aviation power supply ratings of AC 115 V (AC) and DC 28 V (DC), the system features multi-range current specifications with independently switchable AC and DC load channels. It accurately replicates real-world electrical operating conditions of on-board aviation electrical equipment. The R-L-C load bank enables three-phase AC 115 V load simulation and reproduces complex combined non-linear, inductive and capacitive loads. This supports sophisticated testing covering harmonics, phase characteristics and other critical parameters of aviation power supply systems. The custom-engineered air-duct cooling system ensures sustained full-load operation of the high-power assembly, mitigates temperature-induced test deviations and maintains consistent, accurate test data.

Key Equipment Highlights

Flexible power switching via multi-range independent load channels. AC and DC loads can operate separately or simultaneously to simulate light-to-heavy load profiles across different aircraft flight phases, faithfully reproducing actual on-board power consumption and overcoming limitations of simplistic condition simulation.
Aligned with aviation-grade AC 115 V / DC 28 V standards to fit native aviation power architectures. No extra voltage conversion is required; test outputs directly satisfy R&D and factory acceptance specifications.
R-L-C composite load capability simulates non-linear loading effects such as harmonics and phase shifts generated by on-board motors, enabling thorough validation of power-supply anti-interference performance and output stability.
Simulation-optimized dedicated air-duct cooling with hot-cold air isolation to prevent hot-air recirculation and achieve uniform thermal dissipation. Stable temperature control is maintained even during prolonged full load testing, eliminating data drift and over-temperature shutdowns to support non-stop endurance trials.
Modular cabinets with uniform dimensions for grouped layout. Integrated casters facilitate on site relocation. Individual unit control allows maintenance on single units without interrupting the whole system, lowering installation and on-site O&M complexity.
Military-grade rugged hardware with shock resistance and short-term overload tolerance. Well-suited for high-frequency aviation and military test cycles to minimize equipment downtime and safeguard project timelines.
