Load Bank

I'm Looking over a one-line and see a resistive load bank. What is this and what is it's function?

It's probably for exercising a generator and is nothing more than a heater(s)

Interesting system. That's a pretty significant loadbank. Are you on self-generation, or self generation and utility? If so, how much self generation?
