High-Efficiency Power Supply Testing for Next-Generation Data Centers

Modern data centers face unprecedented power and efficiency challenges. These demands are driven by AI, high-performance computing (HPC) and hyperscaler architectures. The applications pack more processors into each rack, pushing total power densities and cooling requirements to new heights. Tektronix test solutions are engineered to meet these challenges head-on. The Tektronix line of EA Elektro-Automatik bidirectional, regenerative power systems (EA-PSB series) and electronic loads (EA-ELR series) achieve up to 95.5% energy recovery efficiency, significantly exceeding the efficiency of competitive units. This efficiency translates to tens of kilowatts saved per megawatt of testing, cutting electricity costs and heat load.

Additionally, the Tektronix line of EA modular, scalable power modules cover a significantly wider voltage range (50 V to 2000 V) and power range (hundreds of watts to multi-megawatts), allowing for rapid reconfiguration to meet various test needs. Likewise, the water-cooled designs ensure reliable operation in challenging lab or production environments

AI and HPC have transformed data center power design, and test equipment must keep pace. Tektronix delivers that next-generation test capability. The Tektronix line of EA Elektro-Automatik products combine extreme efficiency (up to 95.5% regeneration), broad voltage/current range and modular flexibility in a proven, user-friendly package. That means data center power supply manufacturers and system designers can meet Open Compute Project and 80 PLUS Ruby targets, handle novel DC architectures and do so at lower long-term cost.
