When the test is complete, click Edit/Analyze to display the Steps Resistance box.Figure 49. Steps ResistanceAfter running the load bank resistance test, the Step n boxes display the resistance values thatwere read. To edit steps with no resistance values, read the resistance value on the panel ofthe load bank and type it into the box for each step. NOTE. Not all load banks will have thisinformation.You should run the load bank resistance test periodically, especially if there is a problemcontrolling the load. The test verifies that no step resistance is too high or low. Each stepshould be approximately half the resistance of the previous step, unless its weight value is notdouble the weight value of the previous step. Refer to Load Bank.IMPORTANT NOTE: If the load bank is used in low and high voltage modes, the valuesdisplayed are for the currently selected mode of operation. (See the load banks panel fordifferent voltage settings.) If using both modes of the load bank, add another load bank to thesetup (in Setup – Load Bank) and repeat the test. Name the load banks Low Voltage and HighVoltage. Assign the load bank used for each test type. (Remember that values only need to beentered if Auto Detect Step Resistance is not enabled.)To analyze the load bank, click Analyze or, to close the Steps Resistance dialog box andreturn to the Diagnostics Load Bank screen, click OK.If you click Analyze, the Load Bank Analysis dialog box appears, with values at zero. In theMax OV box, type the maximum overall voltage and click Analyze. The load bank isanalyzed and values appear on the dialog box.57
