First Case tested a newly installed busbar system in a data hall with a 1 MW loadbank. Both feeds were loaded separately, ramped up in steps with five compact units under a single remote control.
New busbar system tested with a 1 MW loadbank, both feeds loaded separately and in steps.
A freshly installed busbar system must be proven before it carries production. First Case loaded both feeds of the data hall separately with 1 MW, built up from five 200 kW loadbanks under a single remote control. The load was ramped up in steps, not all at once, so the behavior stayed visible at each level. The work took place in an active environment, on weekdays within fixed windows.
The constraints: as few loadbanks and cabling as possible, compact units under the 600 kg floor-loading limit and cable sets up to 75 m to reach the setup. The test ran five days with a team of two.
Five 200 kW loadbanks are set up and connected to the feed with cable sets up to 75 m.
The load is ramped up in small steps, so the behavior stays visible at each level.
Both feeds of the hall are loaded separately up to 1 MW, one at a time.
The five compact units, under the 600 kg floor limit, run under a single remote control.
After the test, units and cabling are removed and the hall handed back clean.
Five 200 kW loadbanks are set up in the hall, together good for 1 MW. With cable sets of 25 and 50 meters, up to a maximum of 75 meters, they are connected to the busbar feed. The setup deliberately keeps the number of units and the cabling small, with compact units under the 600 kg floor-loading limit.
The busbar has a feed on both sides of the hall; each side is tested separately, one at a time. The load is ramped up in small steps to 1 MW, not all at once, so the system can be assessed at each level. Five units run in sync under a single remote control.
At each load step, the behavior of the busbar system is assessed, so it is clear that the feed handles the full 1 MW. After the test, the units and cabling are removed. The hall is handed back clean, ready to go into production.
A fixed flow: set up, load, assess, tear down.
Five 200 kW loadbanks set up and connected to the feed.
First feed ramped to 1 MW in steps and assessed.
Second feed loaded to 1 MW in the same way.
Units and cabling removed, hall handed back clean.
Setup, test and teardown within five days with a team of two.
We could see the new busbar perform under full load before a single customer ran on it. Loading step by step gave us exactly the picture we needed.
Total maintenance of the entire electrical installation of a hyperscale data center in North Holland with a fixed supervisor-led crew, more than 200 planned working days over several months.
12 Schneider Galaxy VXL UPS systems placed and fully DC-cabled in a colocation data center in the Amsterdam region, 144 cables of 95 mm², every conductor labeled.
Around 680 m of busbar installed in a colocation data center in Rotterdam, including support structure, insulation testing and handover via Site Acceptance Test.
