Chroma ATE has officially launched the 61860HF Regenerative Grid Simulator, the latest addition to its high-performance AC source portfolio. The new platform is designed to address the growing power-validation requirements of AI servers, power shelves, rack-level power systems and next-generation data centre infrastructure.

High power density in a compact platform

The Chroma 61860HF delivers up to 60 kVA of output power from a compact 5U chassis. Compared with earlier solutions in the same power class, it provides 14.7 times greater power density while reducing system height and weight by 87%.

Its compact design transforms a traditionally floor-standing power system into a benchtop-compatible instrument. The unit can also be integrated with electronic loads, power meters and other instruments to form a complete automated power-testing rack.

Built for AI server power validation

The 61860HF provides the bandwidth, low-ripple output and fast transient response required to evaluate the stability and reliability of AI server power systems.

Key test applications include:

• AI server and data centre power validation
• ITIC pre-compliance testing
• Extreme power line disturbance simulation
• Fast dynamic and transient response testing
• Power shelf and rack-level power testing
• Input power anomaly and grid disturbance simulation
• Harmonic and interharmonic waveform testing

Scalable for higher-voltage and higher-power systems

As data centres transition towards higher-voltage and higher-power architectures, the 61860HF provides output-voltage extension capabilities and supports high-voltage operation through series-connected units.

Advanced fibre-optic communication also enables multiple units to operate in parallel, allowing the test platform to scale for demanding server power and data centre applications.

Regenerative and energy-efficient operation

The four-quadrant regenerative design can return energy generated during testing to the grid instead of dissipating it as heat. This helps reduce electricity consumption, cooling requirements and operating costs during high-power and long-duration testing.
