A load bank is used to replace distributed or dispersed load elements contained in a power distribution system or electrical network for the purpose of providing a concentrated load. A load bank contains all the essential electrical characteristics necessary to terminate the circuit and functions in the same manner as the load which it is intended to replace. This description necessarily includes a bank of light bulbs or cone heating elements where energy conversion is primarily in the form of heat although visible radiant energy is the natural result of incandescent heating. Load banks are intended to cover a specific range of characteristics and normally operate at DC or at power frequencies 50, 60, or 400 Hz AC. Load banks may be uninstrumented or complete with integral instrumention and may also be furnished as skid or trailer mounted. Excludes TEST SET, ELECTRICAL (as modified). See also DUMMY LOAD, ELECTRICAL.

NATO Supply Class 6150 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 61, which is dedicated to Electric Wire, And Power And Distribution Equipment.

NATO Supply Class 6150 specifically focuses on Miscellaneous Electric Power And Distribution Equipment. This class includes a wide range of electrical equipment used for power generation, distribution, and control. It encompasses various devices and components that are essential for electrical systems.

Some examples of items that fall under NATO Supply Class 6150 include:

1. Power generators: These are devices used to generate electrical power, often fueled by diesel, gasoline, or natural gas.

2. Power distribution units (PDUs): PDUs are used to distribute electrical power to multiple devices or equipment within a system.

3. Power transformers: Transformers are used to step up or step down electrical voltage levels for efficient power distribution.

4. Circuit breakers: These devices protect electrical circuits from overloads or short circuits by interrupting the flow of electricity.

5. Switchgear: Switchgear is a combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses, or circuit breakers used to control, protect, and isolate electrical equipment.

6. Power cables and connectors: These are essential components for transmitting electrical power from one point to another.

7. Voltage regulators: Voltage regulators are used to maintain a stable voltage output in electrical systems.

8. Power meters: These devices measure electrical power consumption or production.

9. Power distribution panels: These panels house various electrical components and provide a centralized point for power distribution.

10. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS): UPS systems provide backup power in case of a power outage or voltage fluctuation.

It's important to note that this is just a general overview of the items included in NATO Supply Class 6150. The specific items and their detailed specifications may vary depending on the context and requirements of the NATO organization.
