Container load bank for data centre deployed at outdoor power plant site

Container Load Bank for Data Centre

The ultimate solution for outdoor high-power electrical testing, integrating core systems into a standard ISO container for accurate performance verification and data centre power infrastructure commissioning.


What It Does — Container Load Bank for Data Centre

A container load bank applies controlled electrical load to critical power equipment before the facility goes live.

LBT Power's container load bank integrates high-power resistive load elements, forced-air cooling, control systems and protection circuits inside a standard ISO container. It can be positioned outdoors without an equipment room, making it suitable for data centre commissioning, generator testing, UPS validation and temporary site load testing.

The system converts electrical output into controlled heat through load elements, while fans and ducts remove heat from the container. Engineers can apply staged or continuous load to confirm capacity, stability, alarms and protection logic under repeatable conditions.

High-Power Load SimulationApplies megawatt-class electrical load to generators, UPS systems, substations and data centre power infrastructure.
Forced-Air CoolingAirflow and exhaust design dissipate heat generated by the resistor banks during long-duration tests.
Local and Remote ControlTouchscreen, PLC, software and communication options can be configured around site procedures.
Protection and MonitoringVoltage, current, temperature, fan status and alarms can be monitored for safe operation.

Container Load Bank FAQ

What is the maximum power per unit?

Standard models support up to 5MW per container. Larger capacities can be achieved through synchronized parallel operation.

What voltage levels are supported?

Common configurations include 400V and 690V. Medium-voltage configurations such as 10.5kV and 13.8kV can be engineered by project.

20ft or 40ft container - which should I choose?

A 20ft container is commonly used for 1-3MW projects. A 40ft container is usually selected for 3-5MW+ capacity or additional cooling and control space.

Can it be controlled remotely?

Yes. RS485, Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP are available, with optional remote monitoring and parallel control.

How quickly can it be deployed on site?

Once the container is positioned and cables are connected, the system can be prepared for testing quickly without a dedicated equipment room.

How do I get a quotation?

Send your required power rating, voltage, container size, cooling requirement and test scenario for configuration review.

Need a container load bank for your next commissioning project?

Send the required capacity, voltage, site condition, test duration, container size preference and control requirements. LBT Power will confirm a suitable configuration before quotation.

08-FAQ

FAQ

What is the maximum power per unit?

Standard models support up to 5MW per container. Larger capacities are achieved through synchronised parallel operation of multiple cabinets — up to 30MW+ under unified control.

Standard voltages are 400V / 690V. Medium-voltage versions at 10.5kV and 13.8kV are available as custom configurations. All configurations are engineered to order.

Liquid-cooled and containerised are separate product lines. LBT Power’s liquid-cooled load banks are available in rack-mounted and floor-standing form factors.

A 20ft container typically accommodates 1–3MW of capacity. A 40ft container typically accommodates 3–5MW+. Choose based on your project power requirement and available site footprint. Custom sizes are available.

Yes. RS485 / Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP are standard. Optional app-based remote control and unified parallel control across multiple cabinets are available.

Once the container is positioned and cables are connected, the system is ready for testing in approximately one hour. No civil engineering or equipment room required.

Send your power requirement, voltage, container size, and test scenario. We will confirm the configuration and issue a quotation within 48 hours. No obligation — custom configurations are welcome.
