This is so that the heat generated by the electrical energy can be dispersed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe output from the generator is checked at various loads which is done by increasing the resistance in the load bank.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurrent and voltage are measured on meters located inside the Test House. The horsepower of the engine could also be set.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can now model a load bank setup with this kit, a great addition to any TMD on your layout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded In The Locomotive Depot Load Bank Kit:\u003cbr\u003e1 x MDF Concrete Base With Pre-cut Holes For Safety Fencing \u0026amp; Barrier (unpainted)\u003cbr\u003e1 x set of Safety Fencing and Barrier in Yellow\u003cbr\u003e4 x Electrical Cabinets (unpainted)\u003cbr\u003e1 x Detailed Load Bank Container (unpainted)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFootprints For This Kit Are As Follows:\u003cbr\u003e5.9cm Deep x 20.5cm Long\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditional Recommended Items- \u003cbr\u003e- 1 x Locomotive Inspection Platform\u003cbr\u003e- 1 x Depot Buffer Stop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Hill Wagon Works","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55628922945911,"sku":"2WH1406202","price":10.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4175\/2439\/files\/2207.jpg?v=1755614922","url":"https:\/\/www.whww.co.uk\/products\/locomotive-depot-load-bank-kit-n-gauge","provider":"West Hill Wagon Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
