Uses of Load Banks in Data Centers
Load banks are used throughout a data center facility from commissioning all the way through to expansion. Use the hot spots below to find out where and why load banks are essential.
- Ensure back-up power supply will work in the event of a power shortage
- Commission and verify the nameplate power rating
- Regular load bank maintenance will keep the generator in optimal operating condition
- Load banks will identify any potential back-up power issues that may lead to power outages
- Fully load the batteries to simulate real-life conditions and identify potential weaknesses
- Validate the electrical system to avoid costly outages
- A low cost method of determining battery autonomy
- Test and maintain UPS's as part of a maintenance schedule
- Commission RPP's to ensure correct operation for real world conditions
- Ensure power distribution efficiency and uptime
- Validate RPP metering
- Commission PDU's to ensure correct operation for real world conditions
- Ensure power distribution efficiency and uptime
- Validate the PDU bus bar system and monitor temperature changes
- Ensure temperature rise of bus bars remains within limit with specific electrical loads
- Validate the power tap offs and feed tracks
- Verify and validate efficient power distribution to all server components
- Simulate server heat production to verify data center HVAC systems
- Ensure data center power and temperature conditions are optimal before installing costly servers
