Rata Load Bank Products-o Wholesale - Rata-2
Product Overview
- Rata 5kW Rack-Mounted Load Bank designed for data center and UPS/generator load testing in a 19-inch rack form factor (5U height).
- Rated for single-phase 230 Vac, 50 Hz testing with a maximum capacity of 5 kW.
- Compact, steel enclosure (RAL9005 black) with two carrying handles and an estimated weight of 26 kg.
Product Features
- Load and electrical: 5 kW total capacity, adjustable in five 1 kW steps (1000 W × 5); finned resistive elements; load element tolerance ±5%.
- Control and metering: manual control with Schneider circuit breaker; digital meters and optional remote-control configurations available; airflow control with three fan speed settings (50% / 75% / 100%).
- Cooling and safety: forced air cooling (two 150 mm fans, ~820 CFM total), thermal emergency cut-out, IP23 control-chamber rating, insulation test voltage 500 Vac.
- Mechanical and connections: 19" rack (483 mm W × 651 mm D × 5U H), standard C20 male plugs (3), optional C19+C20 and 3 m 2.5 mm² cable.
- Environmental limits: operating temperature 0–75°C, storage 0–85°C, altitude rating < 2000 m, max inlet/outlet temperature difference 40°C.
Product Value
- Enables reliable, repeatable load testing of data center equipment (PDUs, UPS, racks) and power systems to validate capacity, cooling and failover strategies.
- Rack-mounted design saves floor space and integrates directly into existing server racks for convenient, on-site testing.
- Stepwise load control and accurate metering support commissioning, maintenance, and diagnostics while reducing downtime risk.
- Robust protection features and industry components (e.g., Schneider breaker) improve operator safety and equipment longevity.
Product Advantages
- Space-efficient 19" 5U rack form factor tailored for data center environments.
- Fine-grained 1 kW steps and accurate resistive elements provide predictable, repeatable loading.
- Adjustable forced-air cooling with multiple speeds balances thermal management and noise/performance needs.
- Built with safety and reliability in mind: thermal cut-out, IP23-rated control chamber, 500 Vac insulation rating.
- Portable and easy to install (two handles, standard rack mounting, optional accessory cables), backed by Rata’s industry experience and manufacturing capacity.
Application Scenarios
- Data center commissioning and capacity testing (rack-level and PDU validation).
- UPS and battery system load testing and verification.
- Generator set commissioning and maintenance checks (single-phase systems).
- Electrical maintenance, preventive testing, and lab or production test benches requiring controlled resistive loads.
- On-site diagnostics where a compact, rack-mounted load bank simplifies integration and repeatable testing.
