About
Load bank testing proves how critical power equipment performs under controlled load conditions, rather than relying only on visual checks or standard maintenance readings. It helps confirm available runtime, identify weak battery blocks, verify UPS performance and test generator output before the system is required in a real mains failure.
Our engineers can carry out UPS battery capacity testing, UPS autonomy testing and generator load banking as part of planned maintenance, commissioning, remedial works or resilience reviews.

Features and benefits
- UPS battery capacity testing to confirm the condition and usable capacity of battery strings
- UPS autonomy testing to prove actual runtime under site load or controlled load conditions
- Generator load banking to verify generator performance under applied electrical load
- Helps identify weak batteries, poor connections and deteriorating components
- Supports commissioning of new UPS, battery and generator installations
- Provides evidence of system performance for maintenance records and responsible-person sign-off
- Helps reduce the risk of failure during a real power outage
- Allows generators to be tested beyond normal site load conditions
- Can help reduce wet stacking risks on lightly loaded diesel generators
- Supports planned maintenance, resilience reviews and lifecycle replacement planning
- Provides clearer evidence than visual inspection alone
- Helps confirm that backup power systems are correctly sized, operational and ready to support critical loads
