Comprehensive Development and Testing Systems for the latest Generation of Power Supplies in the AI and IT Sectors!
With a view to the incredibly fast growth in data volumes in the field of IT and AI, not only server structures but also the associated power supplies must become more efficient, dynamic and compact. A new concept called “GRID to CHIP” refers to precisely these qualities in server power supplies. REGATRON offers a comprehensive range of DC and AC simulators and power supplies for the development and the highly demanding testing of such systems.
The rapid increase of server performance in connection with modern AI and other IT tasks makes it essential to take a holistic view of the objectives of recent data centres. The focus is on significantly increasing data throughput while ensuring that the energy supply has an acceptable ecological balance:
- Volumes must be reduced
- System-related losses should be minimized
- Unused waste heat must be prevented using the latest heat recuperation techniques
- Power supplies from 3 kW to 100+ kW are connected directly to the server racks
- Instead of the usual low server supply voltages, up to ±400/800 VDC and up to 10,000 amps per server array are targeted
These considerations have led to concepts such as “GRID to CHIP,” in which the path of electrical energy from the supplier’s feed to the memory chip in the server is significantly shortened and optimized. This means that losses are kept consistently low by using optimized voltage converters.
A great deal of energy can be saved during the development and during the power testing of supply systems: Both REGATRON DC and AC power supplies can operate bidirectionally with maximum efficiency, allowing up to 95 percent of the electrical energy to be fed back to the grid. Compared to the resistive loads commonly used today, this represents an incredible advance

The modular REGATRON concept allows you to select suitable power supplies in terms of voltage and power for both grid connection and the DC side. Increase or decrease the power or voltage at any time to suit your needs!
Why REGATRON?
Select REGATRON for AI infrastructure validation to secure a high-precision, future-proof, and economically efficient testing environment.
- Future-Proof Scalability: Scale seamlessly from a 54 kW module to 5,000+ kW and 20,000+ A using modular G5 (DC) and TC.ACS (AC) matrices.
- Extreme Dynamics & Precision: Achieve microsecond-grade rise times (20–100 µs) and ultra-low current ripple, providing the precision required for validating Solid State Circuit Breaker (SSCBs), Capacitor Backup Unit (CBUs), and high-power busbars.
- High-Voltage & P-HIL Capability: Support for 3,000 VDC series configurations enables Solid State Transformer (SST) semiconductor testing, while low-latency (60 µs) of optical RegaLink RT interface with Aurora protocol facilitate high-fidelity Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (P-HIL) simulation.
- Software-Defined Stability: Highly adaptable control loops compensate for complex cabling impedances, ensuring test results reflect authentic DUT performance independent of equipment limitations.
- Maximized ROI: Recover up to 95% of testing energy to dramatically lowering TCO and facility cooling costs compared to traditional dissipative loads.
