Loading Rheostat 10KW Single Phase

Product Code : SCL-EAE-12051

Loading Rheostat 10KW Single Phase (SKU SCL-EAE-12051) is a high-power resistive loading device rated at 10 kW, used to put a controlled electrical load on generators, alternators, power sources and electrical machines during laboratory tests. It is intended for electrical engineering students, instructors, technicians and training laboratories. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the rheostat at its works at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and quotes it directly to colleges, TVET institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The known specifications are listed in the table below. In short, it is a single-phase resistive load rated at 10 kW that turns absorbed electrical energy into heat. Voltage, maximum current, resistance range, load steps, cooling method and duty cycle are stated on the quotation for the exact configuration supplied.

Applications and Experiments for the 10 kW Loading Rheostat

The rheostat absorbs real power from a source so students can see how it behaves as load is applied and removed. With suitable meters it supports voltage, current, regulation and efficiency measurements in electrical engineering, polytechnic and TVET laboratories, under trained supervision.

• Generator and alternator studies: applying resistive load to a machine set such as the Salient Pole Generator and recording voltage regulation.
• Power measurement: logging the power absorbed at each setting with an Analog Power Measuring Meter.
• Electrical machine and power-source experiments that need a steady resistive load.
• Demonstrating resistive loading principles and comparing load behaviour under different operating conditions.

A 10 kW load can involve hazardous voltage, high current and a lot of heat. Keep ventilation paths clear, connect it with the load at zero, and let it cool before handling.

Standard Scope of Supply

The standard supply is the Loading Rheostat 10KW Single Phase itself. Connecting leads, measuring meters, operating instructions and protection devices are not part of the basic item, and any that you need can be listed on the quotation along with the rheostat.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Quotations can be prepared for one rheostat or for several units for a machines laboratory. Science Lab Supplies, a physics instruments supplier in India, confirms the configuration, packing, delivery time and price for that quantity in writing, and meters or other loads can be added to the same quotation.

Science Lab Supplies operates with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria. Raise an enquiry through the contact page or the enquiry cart; for public procurement, the lab tender page explains the steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 10 kW loading rheostat used for?
It applies a resistive electrical load during testing, experiments and teaching. Typical uses are generator, alternator, power-source and electrical-machine studies where a known real-power load is needed.

Is a loading rheostat the same as a resistive load bank?
In this use, yes: the rheostat performs resistive loading and can be described as resistive load equipment. Whether its control is continuous or stepped is stated on the quotation for the model supplied.

What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the rated voltage, frequency, maximum current, resistance range, number of load steps, cooling, duty cycle, terminals, protection features, dimensions and accessories. Our team states each of these on the quotation.

Who should operate the rheostat, and who makes it?
Trained staff or closely supervised students should operate it, because high-power testing involves hazardous voltage and heat. The rheostat is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies, a science apparatus manufacturer in India, at its Ambala factory.
