Understanding Electrical Needs in Data Centers

Written by Maclean Content Team | 5 May, 2023 1:00:00 PM

In the digital age, data centers are the invisible force that keeps the world connected. Powering these technological behemoths is no small feat, with every component, from servers to cooling systems, requiring a steady supply of electricity.

A key aspect of a data center’s power architecture is the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system. This system ensures a continuous power supply in the event of a grid failure and conditions the power supply to prevent damage to sensitive equipment from power surges or voltage drops.

The other major power consumer in data centers is the cooling system. As servers generate significant heat, efficient cooling systems are crucial to maintain optimal operating temperatures. Innovative solutions like liquid cooling and free cooling are helping data centers reduce their energy consumption and improve efficiency.
