Alternating Current (AC) Load Bank

The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is seeking information regarding industry's capacity to produce an Alternating Current (AC) Load Bank. The current AC Load Bank was fielded almost two decades ago and is at the end of its life cycle, requiring replacement. The USMC is looking for a modern Resistive-Reactive unit that is more compact, reliable, and supportable to meet the demands of expeditionary operations. The replacement must meet certain design criteria, including electrical rating, connectors, load step resolution, maintainability, transportability, weights, and environmental requirements. Some key points to consider: * The load bank must be rated at 60 kW @ 120/208 3 phase, 50 and 60 Hz. * The load bank connectors shall be Cam-Type 16 connectors. * The load bank must be capable of stepped loading to support a 5 kW, 10 kW, 15 kW, 30 kW, and 60 kW generators. * The load bank will be designed for maintainability, with any Marine able to perform maintenance in less than 30-minutes without special tools. * The load bank shall be engineered for operational reliability in extreme and rugged environments. * The unit must be ruggedized to endure the rigors of multimodal transport, including road, rail, air, and sea.
