To aid in troubleshooting, testing and maintaining my MEP 002, I've started buying parts to build a 5 KVA load bank. Spent some time on EBAY this morning and bought a 240VAC Dryer heater tube for a maytag for $32.00, and a 6" 250 cu ft / min vent fan in a 6" tube (120 vac) for $27.00. With little bit of framing for safety and some wiring ...still need to find the overtemp snap disk to wire in cheap, and I should have a viable load bank for full load testing and adjusting the governor... will post more pics to this thread as the project completes. With switches and a second element it could be a 10 KVA full load half load bank .![heater2.jpg heater2.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/315/315529-35c5060adb3d149c3a0afabe4c765e21.jpg)
