TOVO-TEST provides purpose‑built electrical load banks that mimic the power draw and heat output of real server equipment, enabling accurate dynamic testing of data center power and cooling performance. Their modular hardware—ranging from 48 VDC/5 kW edge units to rack‑mounted solutions scaling beyond 42 kW—and low temperature differentials (as low as 9 °C) are complemented by centralized software for real‑time electrical and thermal monitoring, streamlining commissioning of Tier 4/5 data centers across France, Europe, and French‑speaking Africa.

Problem
Data center operators and IT infrastructure engineers need to validate power and cooling performance under realistic load conditions, but existing testing equipment is often bulky, imprecise, or unable to simulate the thermal behavior of high‑density server racks, leading to unreliable commissioning results.
Solution
TOVO‑TEST supplies purpose‑built electrical load banks that emulate the power consumption and heat output of actual server equipment. Their devices offer very low temperature differentials (as low as 9 °C) to accurately reproduce server‑level thermal loads during dynamic testing. A modular rack‑mounted version can scale up to 42 kW (or more) and supports both single‑ and dual‑circuit configurations, enabling comprehensive testing of edge, expansion, and hyperscale data halls. Integrated software aggregates electrical and thermal measurements from multiple units, providing real‑time monitoring, centralized control, and data export for commissioning reports. The combined hardware‑software solution streamlines the commissioning process for Tier 4 and Tier 5 data centers across France, Europe, and French‑speaking Africa.
Target Audience
Primary customers are data center owners, operators, and commissioning engineers responsible for Tier 4/5 facilities, as well as system integrators and consulting firms conducting power and cooling validation for edge, expansion, and hyperscale projects.
Features
- Load banks available in 48 VDC 5 kW (ΔT ± 13 °C) for edge data centers and 230 VAC 3.5 kW (ΔT ≤ 9 °C) for extensions or private client sites
- Rack‑mounted units delivering 3.5 kW or 10.5 kW per rack with ΔT 16 °C, configurable for single or dual power feeds (A/B) and scalable to 42 kW+ per rack
- Floor‑standing three‑phase load banks (15 kW / 22 kW, 32 A) for high‑capacity capacity testing of data halls
- Portable, self‑contained temporary confinement modules that isolate airflow and direct cold‑air delivery to the front of the load banks while capturing hot‑air exhaust at the rear
- Centralized monitoring software that displays real‑time electrical (voltage, current, power) and thermal (temperature, ΔT) data from multiple load banks, with remote management capabilities
- Modular design allowing easy reconfiguration, expansion, and integration with existing test rigs or automation systems
