FMG had on-site generators to provide critical power for equipment and day-to-day operations. However, without load banks, there was no way to ensure the generator was running at the correct wattage if needed. Especially in remote mining locations, without load banks, on-site generators risk incorrect servicing and prevent ongoing or major issues from appearing in the future.
FMG: Load Banks to Optimise Generators Run Time & Efficiency

ConstructionWith the help of Blue Diamond Machinery, FMG had access to 4 (100kW, 200kW, 400kW & 500kW) custom built load banks to ensure all on-site generators were optimised and capable of running throughout the entire operation. With a variety of applications, load banks are useful for generator servicing, generator set exercising/testing, keeping generators set above minimum loading, battery discharge and UPS systems exercising. It also helps with testing to reduce ‘wet stacking’ problems and ground power testing.
With Blue Diamond Machinery’s custom built load banks, FMG’s generators could supply reliable, robust power to the mining site without risk of disruption. The installation of the load banks allowed for the successful running of any application or mining site.
