Overview
Power Distribution In
Data Centers
Power distribution and equipment are
critical aspects of commercial data center
infrastructure, ensuring the reliable and
efficient operation of the facility.
The primary goal is to efficiently route
electrical power from the grid or generator
to data center equipment, ensuring stable
and uninterrupted operations.
Reliable power distribution is paramount
for preventing downtime, ensuring data
integrity, and maintaining overall data
center performance.
Power Sources
Power Distribution In
Data Centers
●
Utility Power:
Most data centers are
connected to the electrical grid for a
primary power source. This power is
distributed through the local utility's
electrical infrastructure.
●
Backup Power:
To ensure
uninterrupted operations, data centers
often have backup power systems, such
as generators and uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) units. These systems
provide temporary power during
outages until primary power is restored
or until a graceful shutdown can be
executed.
Power Distribution Units (PDUs)
Power Distribution In
Data Centers
PDUs are devices that distribute
electrical power to multiple pieces of
equipment from a single source.
They come in various types, including
basic, metered, monitored, and
switched PDUs.
The choice depends on the level of
control and monitoring required for
each specific application.
Redundancy and Reliability
Power Distribution In
Data Centers
Data centers implement redundant
power systems to ensure continuous
operations even in the event of
equipment failure or maintenance. This
includes dual power feeds to IT
equipment, dual power supplies in
servers, and redundant UPS and
generator systems.
This duplication is designed to provide
backup resources and prevent a single
point of failure, enhancing the overall
reliability and availability of the data
center infrastructure.
Busway Systems
Power Distribution In
Data Centers
Busway systems provide a flexible and
scalable means of distributing power
within a data center.
They consist of a busbar, typically
housed within an aluminum enclosure.
The busbar carries the electrical current
and taps off to units that connect to IT
equipment.
Busways allow for easy reconfiguration
and expansion of power distribution.
Rack Power Distribution
Power Distribution In
Data Centers
Power is often distributed at the rack
level using rack-mounted PDUs.
These devices can support a mix of
power outlets and may include features
such as metering, remote monitoring,
and power management capabilities.
Rack PDUs offer another method of
efficient and organized delivery of
power to the individual IT equipment
housed in server racks.
Power Monitoring and Management
Power Distribution In
Data Centers
Monitoring the power usage
effectiveness (PUE) of a data center is
crucial for efficiency.
Advanced power management systems
provide real-time monitoring, reporting,
and control over power consumption,
enabling optimization and cost reduction.
By implementing power monitoring
practices, data center operators can
contribute to sustainability goals by
minimizing energy waste.
Cooling Systems
Power Distribution In
Data Centers
Power distribution is closely tied to
cooling system in data centers. Efficient
cooling mechanisms are essential to
prevent equipment from overheating
and ensure reliable operations.
Data centers often employ precision air
conditioning, liquid cooling mechanisms,
or a combination of these systems to
maintain optimal operating conditions.
Energy Efficiency
Power Distribution In
Data Centers
Green initiatives and cost
considerations drive data centers to
focus on energy efficiency. This
includes selecting energy efficient
power distribution equipment,
optimizing airflow for efficient cooling,
and adopting new technologies such as
variable frequency drives to match
cooling and power requirements with
actual demand.
Cabling and Wire Management
Power Distribution In
Data Centers
Proper cable management is crucial to
avoid the risk of power distribution
issues. Well-organized cabling
minimizes the risk of accidental
disconnections, reduces
electromagnetic interference, and
makes maintenance and upgrades more
manageable.
Effective cable management systems
help contribute to overall reliability and
performance of the data center’s power
infrastructure.
Compliance and Safety
Power Distribution In
Data Centers
Data centers must adhere to safety
standards and regulations for electrical
systems. Compliance with codes such as
NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code)
ensures that power distribution systems
are installed and maintained safely.
Regular assessments and updates to
policies and procedures are critical to
stay up to date with evolving
regulations and industry best practices.
We help our distributors round out their
product line and add value to their
customers with products that are
built
simply, meet all latest electrical codes,
and are made of the highest quality
materials.
Our team of engineers can design the
perfect power solution for your
