Background The new CK Power 550kw Portable Generator Set has an EPA required Tier 4 emissions exhaust system that requires the generator to operate on extended run times at a minimum load of 250kw at 480 volts to ensure the exhaust temperature meets a minimum temperature for proper operation of the catalytic converter system. If not operated at the minimum exhaust temperatures the catalytic converter will plug up with unspent diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and will require the replacement of the catalytic converter system costing approximately $28,000 per occurrence. The generator s operation is a standby unit not connected to any load until needed, when needed it will be connected to any load from 208 volts 60kw up to 480 volts 450kw. The load bank is for operational purposes not electrical testing purposes and will be a permanent functioning part of the generator and generator operation.

The load bank will be provided and operationally set up with 2 25kw load selectors and 4 50kw load selectors to permit adjusting loads as needed. Shunting of the load in a no input power condition will not be accepted. Controls and or monitors can be minimal as all operations of the load bank will be monitored from the generator s controller.
