However, unlike the real load, which is likely to be dispersed, unpredictable and random in value, a load bank provides a contained, organized and fully controllable load. Consequently, a load bank can be further defined as a self contained, unitized, systematic device that includes load elements with control and accessory devices required for operation. Whereas the real load is served by the power source and uses the energy output of the source for some productive purpose, the load bank serves the power source, using its energy output to test, support or protect the power source. ref Simplex, Inc. , What is a Load Bank? , http simplexdirect.com LoadBank WhatIsALoadBank.html ref Applications Load banks are used in a variety of applications, including Factory testing ...

Unreferenced date December 2009 In a general sense, the design load is the maximum amount of something a system is designed to handle or the maximum amount of something that the system can produce, which are very different meanings. For example, a crane machine crane with a design load of 20 tons is designed to be able to lift loads that weigh 20 tons or less. However, when a failure could be catastrophic, such as a crane dropping its load or collapsing entirely, a factor of safety is necessary. As a result, the crane should lift about 2 to 5 tons at the most. In Structural design , a design load is in fact greater than the load which the system is expected to support. This is because engineers incorporate a Safety factor in their design, in order to ensure that the system will be able to support at least the expected loads called Specified loads , despite any problems with construction, materials, etc that go unnoticed during construction. A heater would have a general design load, meaning the maximum amount of heat it can produce. A bridge would have a specified load, with the design load being determined by engineers and applied as a theoretical load indended to ensure the actual real world capacity of the specified load.

Suspended load is the portion of the sediment that is carried by a fluid flow which settling settle slowly enough such that it almost never touches the bed. It is maintained in suspension by the turbulence in the flowing water and consists of particles generally of the fine sand , silt and clay Particle size grain size size . Composition The boundary between bed load and suspended load is not straightforward because whether a particle is in suspension or not depends on the flow velocity it is easy to imagine a particle moving between bed load, part suspension and full suspension in a fluid with variable flow. Suspended load generally consists of fine sand, silt and clay size particles although larger particles more coarse sands may be carried in the lower water column in more intense flows further blurring the line between bed load and suspended load. Velocity Suspended load is carried within the lower to middle part of the water column and moves at a large fraction of the mean flow velocity of the stream, with a Rouse number between 0.8 and 1.2.
