To test the power supply and air conditioning of computer rooms including server racks:
KVA Applications load banks for Data Centers in action
Before any IT system installation, especially datacenters, a complete building test is required to check both the electrical installation and the air conditioning. While standard load banks can be used upstream to test backup power generators, our mobile (21kW) and rackmounted (6kW) heater load banks simulate downstream the power consumption and warmup of computers or servers. They consume the electrical power and evacuate the heat in a similar way to that of the future servers. These tests validate the premises before the final installation of expensive and sensitive equipment.

The required powers can vary from 5kW to several tens, depending on the type of rack and servers used. Similarly, various air temperatures can be air conditioned. That’s why we offer custom-designed banks for your data centers:
Tests are also necessary to check battery life, which often constitutes a weakness in the inverter system. To monitor their capacity, battery monitoring systems are permanently installed, especially in large data centers. These systems, as powerful as they are, do not allow to systematically validate the proper operation of the battery. So a discharge test is a good complement.
Since more than 20 years, we use KVA Applications load banks. We are fully satisfied with such robust and reliable products
We bought a load bank that works perfectly for the test of our emergency generator.
We bought a reliable and robust bank that has never had any problems since 2011. We like the 1kW resolution as well as the easy handling.
Our KVA Applications test banks have been running 24 hours a day for 2 years. We greatly appreciate the support of KVA throughout this project.
We appreciate the modularity of the KVA banks that enables us to develop a wide range of resistive and inductive load solutions for our installations.
