  • Portable generator having a configurable load bank
    Patent number: 10590843
    Abstract: A portable generator includes a combustion engine. The portable generator includes an electric generator coupled to the combustion engine. The portable generator can include a load bank. When the electric generator operates at a first voltage and generates less than a threshold amount, the load bank is coupled to the electric generator in a first configuration. When the electric generator operates at a second voltage that is different than the first voltage, the load bank is coupled to the electric generator in a second configuration that is different than the first configuration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 13, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 17, 2020
    Assignee: Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC
    Inventors: Ryan M. Maxwell, David R. Dixon, David W. Hawver, Tommy D. Gleaton
