DEKAL POWER d.o.o. / LLC- DEKAL LOAD BANKS

DEKAL Load Banks is a company based in Miklavž na Dravskem Polju, Slovenia. It designs and makes testing equipment for aviation ground support. The legal name on the site is DEKAL POWER d.o.o. (LLC). The company says it was founded in 1997.

The main products are digital portable load banks and power analyzers. They are used to test and service Ground Power Units, also called GPUs, for civil and military aviation. The company makes load banks for 400 Hz AC, 28.5 V DC and 270 V DC systems. It also makes cable testers and other testing equipment for ground support work.

A load bank acts like an aircraft that is plugged into a GPU. Workshops use it to adjust a GPU and to see how it behaves under different electric loads. This is done during preventive maintenance and after repairs. The site says the 400 Hz units can run a GPU at full load for a long time. For diesel GPUs, this helps clean carbon from the engine.

Each type of equipment comes in four models. These are the Analog Panel series, the Digital Panel series, the Digital USB series and the Digital WiFi series. The site says every unit is built on the company's own production line and is shipped in an aluminum transport case. The company also says it keeps a minimum stock of each load bank type for emergency supplies.

The products are grouped by use. Civilian use covers 400 Hz AC and 28.5 V DC. Military use covers 270 V DC. Special use covers 50 Hz and 60 Hz. The company states that major airlines, ground handlers and GPU makers have approved it as a load bank supplier.

The head office and production site are at Ulica Ludvika Plambergerja 25 in Slovenia. A branch office, DEKAL Load Banks USA LLC, is at 2000 Technology Drive in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The website has a product enquiry form for price, availability and specifications. It can be read in six languages.
