Why use a Load Bank
in your data center?

Data centers are now one of the mos usual markets for testing load banks. The vast electrical infrastructure and the need for constant and reliable power supply make load banks of vital importance.

During the commissioning of a data center (IT room, server room, data center), it is essential to test the power supply (main grid and generators), the climate control system, and the server racks.

The equipment in data centers is highly sensitive to voltage drops, so it’s crucial to check everything before bringing them online to ensure data protection.

Load banks test the stability of the power supply and allow verification that the emergency power capacity of the generator is adequate. The load bank simulates the consumption of a server and, therefore, allows simultaneous testing of:

● That the power supply is functioning correctly, even during the transition from the main source to the emergency UPS and the generator.

● The dissipation of heat generated by the climate control systems.

Discharge banks validate the autonomy of the batteries. To monitor their capacity, permanent monitoring systems have been installed, which are especially important in large-scale data centers.
