Crestchic Loadbanks will be attending Datacentre World London on March 12, 2025, to display its latest innovations in load banks and testing equipment. A key highlight at this year’s event will be Crestchic’s 200kW stackable data centre load bank, which has been designed to support the evolving demands of modern data centres.
The 200kW load bank has been engineered to help data centre operators conduct rigorous testing of their electrical systems, backup power solutions, and cooling infrastructures. Ideal for Level 5 integrated systems tests, the unit allows operators to simulate real-world conditions, ensuring that their systems can handle peak loads without risk of failure. With its compact dimensions (1159mm x 876mm x 983mm) and stackable design, the load bank is easy to store in space-constrained environments.
Operators can link up to 20 units using a single handheld digital controller, creating a combined testing capacity of 4MW. This feature is particularly useful for validating cooling system efficiency and ensuring compliance with high-density server requirements. Additionally, the unit’s mobility—thanks to its integrated wheels—makes it easy to manoeuvre within server halls.
Beyond heat testing for server rooms, the 200kW load bank is also designed for Power Distribution Unit (PDU) testing, enabling thorough validation of a data centre’s electrical infrastructure. This includes assessing power delivery to servers, switches, bus track power units, feed tracks, tap-offs, and other mission-critical equipment, ensuring power and cooling reliability.
Visitors to Datacentre World London 2025 will have the opportunity to explore Crestchic’s comprehensive range of load bank solutions and gain expert insights into the role of load testing in maintaining uptime and operational resilience within the data centre sector.
Crestchic’s product portfolio includes:
- Resistive-only load banks up to 300kW for heat load testing
- Rack-mounted server emulators for heat load testing
- Capacitive load banks for testing leading power factors common in server operations
- Large multi-megawatt, medium-voltage load bank packages for testing and synchronising multi-genset systems on a common bus with a lagging power factor
- DC load banks for testing UPS systems, allowing for close battery analysis and discharge performance assessments
- Resistive-reactive load banks for full-system emergency changeover testing
Paul Brickman, Commercial Director at Crestchic, commented: “Unplanned downtime in a data centre environment can be incredibly costly. Load banks play a crucial role in commissioning and ongoing testing of backup power solutions, as well as in heat load testing, to ensure resilience and compliance with strict uptime SLAs. We’re excited to engage with customers and industry professionals at Datacentre World London 2025 to discuss the latest advancements in power continuity.”
