Why test a UPS system with a Load Bank?

Without a load bank the only way to test an uninterruptible power supply during the commissioning phase or during maintenance is to apply a real-world load. This is normally the mission critical IT load that the UPS would be powered and if there is a fault with the UPS system this could lead to damage of the connected loads. Using a load bank places a temporary or dummy load on the UPS system allowing the UPS to be properly tested without interruption or damage.
