Data Center
What is Data Center?
A Data center load bank is a specialized device used to test and validate a data centers power and cooling systems. Load banks have four key applications in data center:
- Commissioning
- Maintenance and regular testing
- Expansion
- Checking and validations
- 1) Commissioning:
- During the commissioning phase of data center load banks play main role in identifying and addressing electrical issues before facility goes live. This allows data center operators to test and validates performance and essential components.
- 2) Maintenance:
- To supply power most of the data centers have a backup UPS system and diesel generator. Maintenance of this backup system is important. Load banks are the most effective way to test and periodic maintenance of backup system.
- 3) Expansion:
- Data centers build larger than the initial requirement because in future it can be expand. When expansion occurs correct power usage and cooling is required. New components and hardware must prove operation and efficiency, especially in locations where sensitive or important information may be stored. Load banks are the leading technology for simulating the power conditions of server racks. Load bank provide detailed test reports. These reports useful for client who want to purchase server space.
Why use Load Banks in data centers?
Load banks are used in data centers to test and verify the performance of critical power systems like generators, UPS system and cooling system.
Types of Load banks used in data centers:
- Resistive
- Inductive
- Capacitive
Summary:
- Load banks are used to commissioning, expand, maintain, HVAC system and equipment.
- Load bank must be selected to apply appropriate types of loads to power source.
- Load banks can be used for testing all other heavy duty power components.
