Load bank assist

A load bank test proves an installation under real load, but the setup around it is a trade in its own right. On behalf of UPS manufacturers and their channel, we position the load bank, connect it, arrange cooling and air exhaust, and remove everything afterward. You or the manufacturer run the test.

Load banks positioned: safely, and in the right spot.

A load bank is a portable dummy load: it absorbs the installation's power and turns it into heat. A unit like that is heavy, runs hot and needs air exhaust. We pick the spot, check the floor loading and place the units safely, even in a tight or active hall. In one data hall we set up five compact 200 kW units, each under the 600 kg floor limit.

The connection to your feed, with as little cable as possible.

We run the cable sets from the feed to the load bank and connect both ends. In that same data hall, the five units combined delivered 1 MW per feed, connected with cable sets up to 75 m and linked to a single remote control. We route the hot air out, so the hall's cooling does not have to carry the test.

You run the test. We handle the setup.

You or the manufacturer write the test program and run the test. Our engineers stay with the setup, switch it over when the next feed is due and adjust whatever the program asks for. Once the test is done, we remove the units and cabling. In the data hall, that was after five days, and the hall was handed back clean.

The complete work package

Setup

Units safely in place. Transport into the hall, spot chosen for floor loading and access. Compact units where space is tight.

Connection

Cable sets to the feed. We run the sets and connect the load bank, with as little cable in the hall as possible. Sets up to 75 m to reach the setup.

Cooling & exhaust

A load bank turns the full power into heat. We arrange the air exhaust, so the test does not burden the hall's cooling.

Switch-over

Testing multiple feeds? We switch the setup over, one side at a time, so each feed can be loaded separately.

Assistance

During the test our engineers stay with the setup for adjustments. You or the manufacturer run the test.

Removal

After the test we remove the units and cabling and hand the hall back clean, ready for production.

How we handle the setup

Four steps, from survey to clean handover.

01

Survey & plan

Together with you or the manufacturer we determine the spot, the route in, the connection and the air exhaust.

02

Set up & connect

Units in place, cable sets run and connected, cooling and exhaust arranged.

03

During the test

You or the manufacturer run the program. We switch over and adjust the setup.

04

Teardown & handover

Units and cabling removed, hall handed back clean, ready for production.
