The function of a Load Bank is to accurately mimic the operational or "real" load that a power source would see during an actual application. It would be difficult to imagine a world without electricity and batteries. Most modern devices and motorized equipment rely on an energy source, and to test these machines appropriately, 'Direct Current', or DC Load Banks and Data Loggers are required. Manatronics Pty Ltd has been producing top notch DC Electronic Load equipment since 1997, and is an expert in the manufacturing of DC Load Banks, Data Loggers, and Portable Load Banks. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to discover that their quality assured products are attracting more and more global attention. With their philosophy of building solid and robust products, competitively priced, yet still using only superior, QA tested components and materials, it is no wonder they are rapidly climbing the international market rankings. Periodic DC Load Bank testing is an important element of a comprehensive maintenance program. Consequently, the testing devices have to be rugged, reliable and easy to use. The products Manatronics has to offer are designed to be flexible, and cater to a customer's specific requirements and Voltage, or Current characteristics. This means that their units can easily be modified during the manufacturing process and can also be used in parallel, to allow for higher current and power requirements. This feature increases the flexibility of the units even more.

The problems in the chip industry are a perfect example as to why industries should be repairing their faulty PCBs in house and investing in fully trained and certified technicians and the right equipment to diagnose PCB faults. By developing their own capabilities, companies are creating job opportunities, enabling the growth of their business, and become independent from suppliers and OEMs. This development also helps to mitigate environmental damaged caused by heavy industry; repairing boards means they are saved from landfill and lessens emissions due to a new replacement board not being needed. “Repair, Don’t Waste” amplifies this message and shows how blue-chip companies worldwide are making the change – not only for their own benefit in face of the chip crisis, but for a less environmentally damaging and financially secure future.
