General Safety

1. Injury to the person operating or servicing this equipment is able to occur if any of
these SAFETY and/or WARNING statements are ignored.

2. The user must be fully conversant with this manual and in full understanding of it
before operating the loadbank.

3. Personal injury from electrical shock may occur if the power is not isolated before
any maintenance measures are undertaken.

4. The loadbank must be operated only by personnel adequately experienced in the

operation of the power source(s) being connected to it.

5. The loadbank must only be operated with all of its covers in their correct positions
and secured.

6. Ear defenders are recommended if operator is working constantly in the vicinity of

the loadbank.

Installation
7. For safety purposes upon receiving the loadbank an initial inspection is
recommended. In addition to this periodical preventative maintenance and safety
inspections are required to ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of the
unit.

8. The loadbank must be properly sited, stable and located in a well ventilated area.

9. Connect a ground wire from the Loadbank Earth Stud Terminal to the power
supply under test. Size the Earth cable accordingly. The loadbank must not be
operated without an adequate earth connection.

10. A minimum clearance of 1m (2m recommended) must be allowed from the inlet
grille.

11. A minimum clearance of 1m (2m recommended) is required from the outlet grille. It
is recommended that the operator cordon off this area prior to operation of the
unit, to prevent accidental contact with the exhaust grilles and the hot exhaust gas
whilst the loadbank is operating.

Warning The loadbank produces a hot exhaust gas approximately 120ºC

above ambient temperature at a distance of 1m from the outlet
grilles.

Loadbank Serial No: C4770 Page 4

12. Do not position the loadbank where hot exhaust air is able to re-circulate back
through the inlet grille, as this will cause the unit to overheat.

13. All safety devices within the loadbank have been proven reliable as part of the test
procedure.

14. Ensure that the load cables are of good condition and suitably rated for the current
they will be required to carry from the power source to the loadbank.

15. Route the load cables through the aperture at the base of the enclosure to the
connection chamber and securely connect them to the correct loadbank terminals.
Do not route the cables through the connection chamber door, or leave the door
open during test.

16. Ensure that the correct links are fitted securely to the correct terminals in the
connection chamber for either 208V/240V 50/60Hz, 3-Phase Delta or 380/480V
50/60Hz 3-Phase Star. Incorrect fitting of the links may cause damage to either the
power source and/or the loadbank. Please refer to drawing CL15981 Sheet 2
located in this operator manual for details of the link positions.

Warning: - This equipment MUST be correctly configured as indicated above.

Connecting a test supply of 480V to a unit configured for 208V Delta may
result in severe damage to the equipment.

17. Observe the correct 3-phase and neutral sequence when connecting the loadbank
to the power source. Connecting a phase to the neutral will damage the loadbank.

18. Do not operate the Loadbank over the rated voltage or frequency as this may
cause failure to the loadbank.

19. Under no circumstances is the Over Temperature Switch to be bypassed. If the

loadbank is operated with the temperature switch bypassed the elements will be
liable to overheat if any fault condition occurs. In severe cases this will result in the
unit catching fire.

20. Air-flow switches are fitted to the fan(s) to detect the fan(s) are running. If an air-
flow switch as not activated upon start up, or should open during operation the
load will be dropped after a 10 second delay to prevent overheating.

21. Circuit Breakers and/or Fuses are fitted in the loadbank for short circuit and over
current protection.

22. Ensure that all covers, inlet/outlet grilles are fixed and all doors are closed before
applying power to the loadbank.

23. At the end of a test the load must be set to zero and the loadbank fan(s) left
running for a minimum of 5 minutes to cool the resistive elements.

Loadbank Serial No: C4770 Page 5

24. Avoid contact with the outlet grille during test and a period of time afterwards as
this becomes very hot during operation and may result in serious burns.

25. Do not permit objects to enter or block the air inlet/outlet grilles of the Loadbank. A
blockage will cause the Loadbank to overheat. If an object enters the loadbank it
will cause damage to the fan(s) and/or resistor elements. If objects enter the
loadbank grilles then the unit must be switched off, removed from all sources of
electrical supply and then inspected physically and electrically to ensure no
damage has occurred.

Loadbank Serial No: C4770 Page 6

3. DESCRIPTION OF A LOADBANK
The loadbank is an outdoor, transportable resistive unit for electrically load testing 480V
A.C. 60Hz 3-phase 3/4-Wire (Star) OR 277V, 60Hz, 3-Phase, 3-Wire (Delta) power
supplies with voltage tolerance of 5%.

The function of the loadbank is the dissipation of electrical energy which is transformed
into heat by the resistive elements. This unit will produce 700kW of real power
dissipation at 480V (Star) or 277V (Delta) full load.

The heat is removed from the loadbank by the fan(s) passing air over the resistive
elements. It is essential the inlet and outlet grilles are free from any obstruction
otherwise the loadbank will overheat.

Circuit Breakers and/or Fuses are fitted inside the loadbank for short circuit and over
current protection.

Do not operate the Loadbank over the rated voltage or frequency as this may cause
failure to the loadbank.

A thermal switch is located in the control chamber of the loadbank to protect the
equipment from and overheating that may occur.

External Auxiliary Supply input 380V/480V 50/60Hz Star or 208V/240V Delta. If this
supply is connected select ‘External’ of the ‘Control Supply’ switch. This will supply the
cooling fans and the control of the loadbank. For 380V/480V Star supply a 32A 3-phase
supply is required, for 208V/240V Delta supply a 50A 3-phase supply is required.

Important: When transporting these units it is essential to block the base to ensure the
castors are raised, otherwise the castors and the enclosures will become damaged
when strapping down.

Loadbank Serial No: C4770 Page 7

4. INSTALLATION / OPERATION OF LOADBANK
Installation
Upon receiving the loadbank an initial inspection is recommended. In addition to this
periodical preventative maintenance and safety inspections are required to ensure the
continued safe and reliable operation of the unit.

The loadbank must be properly sited, stable and located in a well ventilated area.

A minimum clearance of 1m (2m recommended) must be allowed from the inlet grille.
Ensure that no loose material is in the vicinity of the inlet grille (e.g. Paper).

A minimum clearance of 1m (2m recommended) is required from the outlet grille. It is

recommended that the operator cordon off this area before operation of the unit.

Warning The loadbank produces a hot exhaust gas approximately 120ºC

above ambient temperature at a distance of 1m from the outlet
grilles.

Do not position the loadbank where hot exhaust air is able to re-circulate back through
the inlet grille, as this will cause the unit to overheat.

If possible protect the loadbank from direct solar radiation, particularly at the control end
of the loadbank.

When installing two or more loadbanks ensure they are sufficiently spaced from each
other, so the hot exhaust from one unit does not feed the air intake of another.

Failure to observe the above may result in overheating and subsequent activation of the
over temperature protection.

Connect a ground wire from the Loadbank Earth Stud Terminal to the power supply
under test. Size the Earth cable accordingly. The loadbank must not be operated
without an adequate earth connection.

Ensure that the correct links are fitted securely to the correct terminals in the connection
chamber. Incorrect fitting of the links may cause damage to either the power source
and/or the loadbank. Please refer to drawing CL15981 Sheet 2 located in this operator
manual for details of the link positions.

Ensure that the load cables are of good condition and suitably rated for the current they
will be required to carry from the power source to the loadbank.

Route the load cables through the aperture at the base of the enclosure to the
connection chamber. Do not route the cables through the connection chamber door.

Loadbank Serial No: C4770 Page 8

Securely connect the test load cables to the terminals (M16); observe the correct 3-
phase and neutral (if used) sequence when connecting the loadbank to the power
source. Connecting a phase to the neutral will damage the loadbank.

Connect the ‘External’ auxiliary supply if one is to be used. For 380V/480V Star supply a
32A 3-phase supply is required, for 208V/240V Delta supply a 50A 3-phase supply is
required. This is the most suitable option to maintain the control / fan(s) supply if the test
supply should fail.

If used, connect a single pair cable from the loadbank RS485 terminals A and B to the
RS485 converter (USB-i485) connections 1 and 2 (See drawing CL15981 sheet 1) to
utilise the Starlight software. See Section 12 for Starlight installation.

Do not leave the connection chamber door open during operation of the loadbank or
test supply.

All safety devices within the loadbank have been proven reliable as part of the test
procedure.

Under no circumstances is the Over Temperature Switch to be bypassed. If the

loadbank is operated with the temperature switch bypassed the elements will be liable
to overheat if any fault condition occurs. In severe cases this will result in fire.

Circuit Breakers and/or Fuses are fitted in the loadbank for short circuit and over current
protection.

Ensure that all covers, inlet/outlet grilles are fixed and all doors are closed before
applying power to the loadbank.

Loadbank Serial No: C4770 Page 9

Operation
1. Select ‘Internal’ or ‘External’ auxiliary supply as required on the control facia.
(Internal – control supply taken from the test supply / External – control supply
taken from the separate auxiliary supply).

2. Using the ‘Control Voltage’ switch, select the appropriate voltage

(230V/380V/480V) to correspond with the internal/external supply being used to
configure the load bank’s internal control supply.

Warning: - The ‘Control Voltage’ switch MUST be correctly configured as

indicated above otherwise this may result in severe damage to
the equipment.

3. Select ‘Local’ or ‘Remote’ control as required on the control facia.

4. If ‘Local’ check that the decade switches on the local controller are all set to zero.

5. If ‘Remote’ selected connect the controller unit to the control-input socket mounted
on the load module facia of the master unit, this is marked ‘Control I/P’. In some
cases this may be via an extension reel. Ensure that the cables are in good
condition.

6. If the unit is to be used ‘Stand Alone’, the ‘Control O/P’ socket is not used.

7. Check that the decade switches on the remote controller are all set to zero.

8. Ensure that all covers are fixed and all doors are closed.

9. This equipment has been fitted with an ‘Emergency Stop’, if pressed this will shed
all load and stop the movement of the fan(s). Ensure that the fault / hazard as
been cleared before resetting the Emergency Stop. Once the Emergency Stop is
reset i.e. pulled out, the fan(s) will restart but no load will be applied until the
‘Enter’ button is pressed.

Warning: - The Emergency Stop does not isolate the Test Supply or the
Auxiliary Supply; this must be done at source.

10. The equipment is now ready for use.

11. Switch on the Auxiliary Supply if one is to be used. The fan(s) will now start.

12. Switch on the test supply. If no auxiliary supply is to be used, the fan(s) will now
start.

13. The load module is fitted with automatic correction of phase rotation on the fan
supplies. Once the fan(s) have started check that the airflow is normal and in the
direction from the fan(s) and across the elements.

Loadbank Serial No: C4770 Page 10

14. Select the kW required on the indexing switches and press the ‘Enter’ button to
apply the load. The next load step may be selected but will not be applied until the
‘Enter’ button is pressed again.

Warning: - This equipment will produce a hot exhaust. (Approx. 120°C

above ambient at 1m from the outlet grille).

Note: - For testing at different voltages for 1 kW Entered the following will be
applied 480V Star 1.0kW (700kW) 380V Star 0.63kW (440kW)
240V Delta 0.75kW (525kW) 208V Delta 0.56kW (395kW)

15. The load may be removed at any time by pressing the ‘Clear’ button.

16. Avoid contact with the outlet grille during test and a period of time afterwards as
this becomes very hot during operation and may result in serious burns. It is
recommended that the loadbank operator to cordon off the area for a minimum of
1m (2m recommended) to prevent accidental contact with the exhaust grilles and
the hot exhaust gas whilst the loadbank is operating.

17. Do not permit objects to enter or block the air inlet/outlet grilles of the Loadbank. A
blockage will cause the Loadbank to overheat. If an object enters the loadbank it
will cause damage to the fan(s) and/or resistor elements. If objects enter the
loadbank grilles then the unit must be switched off, removed from all sources of
electrical supply, allowed to cool fully, and then inspected both physically and
electrically to ensure no damage has occurred.

18. If a cooling fault condition occurs, by loss of the airflow due to the inlet grilles being
blocked or fan failure, which is detected by airflow switches AF1 – AF2, or if the
temperature sensors inside the load module exceed 90°C (194°F) the load will
automatically lock out.

19. At the end of a test the load must be set to zero and the loadbank fan(s) left
running for a minimum of 5 minutes to cool the resistive elements.

20. The number of starts per hour of the fan(s) should be limited to ten to avoid
overheating.

Loadbank Serial No: C4770 Page 11

5. MAINTENANCE
Crestchic Load Banks are virtually ‘maintenance free’ however we do recommend that
the units are checked once a year for tightness of all electrical and mechanical
connections, and also the load contactors should be checked for wear.

General maintenance must be carried out with the test and auxiliary power isolated from
the loadbank.

For fault finding, when a supply is required, then only the auxiliary supply should be
connected. Maintenance work should only be done by qualified personnel, fully aware of
the danger involved.

WARNING: - PERSONAL INJURY FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT IF THE

POWER IS NOT ISOLATED BEFORE SERVICING. MAINTENANCE
WORK MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

The resistive elements are long life maintenance free items, if an element was to “blow”
or become damaged for any reason, obviously this would affect the loading of the
electrical supply under test. The element cannot be repaired and a replacement element
would have to be installed, this can be obtained from Crestchic Ltd. (please specify kW
rating and voltage engraved on the element).

Fan units are fitted with ‘sealed for life’ bearings lubricated with wide temperature range
grease and require no maintenance.

All panel/door seals must be inspected every 6-months to ensure they make a good
seal to prevent water or any foreign matter entering the enclosure.

Door hinges and fasteners must be lubricated every 6-months, and also castor mounted
units should have the castors lubricated.

Replacing Elements

Disconnect the cables or coppers connected to the faulty element termination points.
The elements are fitted with two glands at the termination ends which securely hold the
element in position, some Load Banks are fitted with element support hooks and others
fitted with `toast racks' to support the other end. Remove the nuts on the glands to free
the element. Remove one of the grilles in the element chamber (the nearest to the
element) and slide the element out.

7. TERMINOLOGY / CALCULATIONS
Apparent Power MVA / kVA / VA
Real/Actual Power MW / kW / W
Reactive Power MVAr / kVAr / VAr
Power Factor p.f. = cosφ
Unity Power Factor kW = kVA

Power Relationship

Ohm’s Law I = V / R (A) V = I x R (V) R = V / I (Ω)

Loadbank Capacity at other voltages:-

Rated Power Capacity of loadbank x (Applied Voltage / Design Voltage)² = Actual

Power

e.g. 3600 x (440 / 450)² = 3441kW

Power Calculations:-

e.g. 2.0MVA @ 0.9p.f. 450V

Real Power = kVA x pf = kW 2000 x 0.9 = 1800kW

Reactive Power = √ ((kVA²)-(kW²)) = kVAr √ ((2000²)-(1800²)) = 872kVAr

Apparent Power = √ ((kW²)+(kVAr²)) = kVA √ ((1800²)+(872²)) = 2000kVA

Real Power = √ ((kVA²)-(kVAr²)) = kW √ ((2000²)-(872²)) = 1800kW

3Ø Current = kW / (√3 x V) 1800 / (1.732 x 450) = 2309A (kW)

3Ø Current = kW / (√3 x V x pf) 1800 / (1.732 x 450 x 0.9) = 2566A (kVA)

3Ø Current = √ ((A-kW²)+(A-kVAr²)) = A √ ((2309²)+(1118²)) = 2566A

kVA = √3 x V x I 1.732 x 450 x 2566 = 2000kVA

Loadbank Serial No: C4770 Page 22

Temperature Calculation:-

°C = °F – 32 / 1.8 °F = (1.8 x °C) + 32

Metric Conversions:-

1 inch = 25.4 mm (2.54 cm) 1 cm = 0.3937 inch

1 lb = 0.4536 kg 1 kg = 2.2046 lbs

 USB to RS485 CONVERTER USB-i485

INTRODUCTION
The USB-i485 module is a cost-effective way to convert
RS485 or RS422 industrial buses to a USB interface.
When connected to a PC USB port the USB-i485 module
is automatically detected and is installed as a native COM
port which is compatible with any existing serial
communication application.
Multiple modules can be installed when using USB hubs
thus allowing a hassle-free configuration of a multi serial
system without any IRQ or DMA configuration.
1500 Vdc isolation between the USB port and
RS485/RS422 protects the PC from spykes or possible
misconnections in the communication bus.

FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS CONNECTIONS

The USB-i485 converter can be configured for four-wire

RS485 HALF DUPLEX
(Full Duplex) RS422 and RS485 or two-wire (Half
Duplex) networks. When operating in two-wire RS485 MAX 32 DEVICES
the data transfer control is automatically done by the
DEVICE DEVICE
converter. 3 4
G D1 D0 G D D
