My coworker wants me to come up with a design for a load bank to draw 60 amps at 208 volts, 240 volts, and 280 volts to test for harmonic distortion at high loads.
I guess it's something for testing standards for UL and CSA... but I'm at a loss. I'm not very good with electronics since I am a Mechanical Engineering student, not an Electrical, nor have I dealt with that much energy before.
How can I make something like this on the cheap?
If it counts for anything the business I'm doing a co-op for makes Stoves and Ranges, so I suppose we have some high wattage heating elements available.
