Chroma Launches Advanced Server Power Testing Solutions in Europe
London, Friday, 19 September 2025.
Chroma introduces the 63200A Series DC Electronic Loads for server power supply testing, enhancing reliability and compliance with European standards, crucial for critical server infrastructure.
Innovative Testing Capabilities
Chroma’s introduction of the 63200A Series DC Electronic Loads marks a significant advancement in server power supply testing. These loads are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern data centers, providing a robust platform for verifying the real-world performance and reliability of server power supply units (PSUs). The 63200A Series is particularly notable for its compliance with M-CRPS (Modular Common Redundant Power Supply) and ORV3 (Open Rack Version 3) standards, ensuring that server infrastructures can sustain high-performance levels while adhering to European operational standards [1].
Technical Specifications and Efficiency
The 63200A Series offers a range of technical specifications tailored to various testing needs. It supports rated power capacities from 2 kW to 240 kW when units are connected in parallel, and operates within voltage ranges of 0 to 150 V, 0 to 600 V, and 0 to 1200 V. This flexibility allows for precise testing across a broad spectrum of server PSU conditions. The series also incorporates User Defined Waveform (UDW) capabilities and synchronized dynamic control, which are critical for testing instantaneous power and dynamic current scenarios [1].
Meeting Compliance and Operational Standards
Chroma’s testing solutions are designed to ensure compliance with stringent European operational standards. The 63200A Series, with its high-speed dynamic capabilities, is equipped to handle complex testing scenarios, including ITIC voltage surge tests, where it can generate peak voltages exceeding 1.9 kV and sustain them for up to 200 microseconds. This capability is crucial for testing the resilience of server PSUs under extreme conditions, ensuring they meet the highest levels of reliability and performance [1][2].
Comprehensive Testing Solutions
Beyond the 63200A Series, Chroma provides a wide array of testing solutions that extend to server power rack testing, ensuring an integrated approach to power management in data centers. These solutions include parallel testing, site power usage assessments, and thermal flow analysis, all crucial for optimizing energy efficiency and ensuring stable power delivery. The integration of regenerative electronic loads further enhances these capabilities by allowing energy consumed during testing to be efficiently fed back into the power grid, significantly reducing energy waste [3].
