Product Overview
- Rack-mounted resistive AC load bank (Rata) designed for data center and micro-module environments to simulate L2 equipment (conventional/high-density servers and routers). It provides adjustable heat load and air volume to reproduce real equipment conditions for testing, commissioning and capacity planning.
Product Features
- Rated voltage around AC 220–250 V; control power AC 220 V/50 Hz; insulation class F.
- Modular rack sizes from 3U to 12U with power options typically from ~3 kW up to 12 kW (customizable) and fine load steps (e.g., 0.5 kW).
- Load accuracy ±2% per step; three-input, independently controlled inputs; manual miniature circuit breaker switching (also supports automatic/manual air modes).
- Forced-air cooling (forward/rear), adjustable airflow up to ~1,200 m3/h, fan delayed run for post-operation cooling.
- Protection features including fire separation of resistor modules, temperature alarm and automatic unload, overload alarm/disconnect (e.g., alarm on loads above specified limit), and fan/thermal protections. Many parameters are configurable.
Product Value
- Enables realistic, repeatable simulation of server/router heat and power profiles for commissioning, performance validation, thermal planning and capacity verification.
- Helps optimize data center design for high density and low PUE, reduces risk during deployment, shortens commissioning time, and supports maintenance and fault diagnosis.
- Customizable performance lets operators validate a wide range of equipment and scenarios without needing physical production servers.
Product Advantages
- Compact, rack-mounted form factor tailored for data centers and micro-modules—saves space and integrates into standard racks.
- High accuracy and fine load granularity for precise testing; independent multi-input control for flexible load composition.
- Robust thermal management with adjustable airflow and delayed fan operation; multiple safety layers (fire separation, temperature and overload disconnects).
- Wide operating environment specs (ambient −20 to 50 °C, humidity up to 100%, altitude up to 2,500 m) and customizable color/configuration backed by Rata’s experienced manufacturing and service capabilities.
Application Scenarios
- Data center commissioning, capacity planning and stress testing.
- Thermal profiling and hot‑aisle/cold‑aisle containment verification.
- UPS, power distribution and cooling system testing.
- Lab and R&D testing of servers, routers and high-density IT equipment.
- Maintenance, fault simulation and staged rollouts where realistic, controllable electrical and thermal loads are required.
