Rack Mounted Loads (RML) for Data Center Testing

The RML (Rack Mounted Load) of 8.75 kW is a resistive load equipment designed to precisely simulate the thermal dissipation and electrical consumption of IT equipment installed in racks, enabling the execution of controlled, safe, and repeatable tests in mission-critical environments. Installed directly in the standard 19″ rack, the RML enables validation of power and cooling infrastructure at the actual point of consumption, before servers and production equipment enter operation.

RMLs are primarily indicated for performing Integrated Systems Testing (IST), also known as Level 5 Commissioning, allowing integrated testing of UPS systems, PDUs, busbars, electrical panels, and cooling, with validation of the complete chain from the power source to the rack. The equipment is also widely used in Rack Acceptance Test (RAT), enabling acceptance testing directly at the rack level and simulation of real load before IT equipment installation.

Additionally, RMLs can be used in capacity and redundancy tests, covering N, N+1, and 2N architectures, enabling verification of system behavior under nominal load and simulation of failures, such as UPS transfers, power loss, and bypass operation. The equipment is also fundamental in thermal and airflow tests, allowing evaluation of hot and cold aisles, validation of cooling systems such as CRAC, CRAH, in-row solutions and containment, as well as identification of hot spots and air short-circuits.

Finally, RMLs are also indicated for the pre-operation or burn-in phase of infrastructure, promoting controlled stress of the environment before go-live and enabling anticipation of latent failures in power and cooling systems, contributing to safer and more reliable Data Center operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read below some common questions related to our products. If your question remains, our specialists will be ready to assist you.

Yes, it is possible; however, step-down transformers will be required. The voltage will be reduced to 480V, allowing the test to be performed safely and accurately within the required parameters.
Yes, it is possible. However It is necessary to evaluate the specific characteristics, such as voltage, current, and the connection point—to identify the most effective equipment composition for the infrastructure in question.
Yes, this is a very common procedure. Nevertheless, it must be confirmed that the generators intended for testing are equipped to operate in parallel. If parallel operation is not possible, each generator will require a dedicated load bank for the duration of the test.
Yes, it is possible. However, several critical factors must be evaluated beforehand, including the total power to be tested, the specific installation site within the basement, and the overall duration of the test to ensure proper heat dissipation and safety.
Depending on the specific model, yes. Typically, our medium and large-capacity load banks are engineered for outdoor operation and are designed to function reliably even under rain conditions.
The duration of the test is determined by the specifications provided by the equipment or system manufacturer, or by the specific requirements outlined in the commissioning protocol.
Yes. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of the test performed, we can issue comprehensive technical reports documenting the results and observations.
