TALON™ SERIES – AC Load Banks
- Discover Additional Solutions:
- TALON Nest
- TALON Edge
- TALON Apex
Engineered for rack-level data center testing, commissioning, and thermal validation. Designed for installation in standard server rack environments, the series provides a controlled resistive load up to 20kW to simulate IT equipment before servers are installed or during power and cooling verification:
Each unit:
- Is built for realistic white space testing in data center environments
- Supports PDU validation and UPS testing
- Is ideal for rack circuit loading and airflow studies
- Enables HVAC performance verification
- Has static fan models that provide fixed airflow for repeatable testing
- Offers variable fan control adjustments of airflow and heat rejection
- Helps simulate expected server operating conditions for more accurate testing and commissioning results
