Part 2 provides an analysis of the factors that affect energy savings. Various types of DC power distribution are examined as alternatives to AC distribution for data centers and network rooms. A ...

While most papers claiming efficiency benefits for DC systems do not present a detailed model with underlying calculations and numbers, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory does publish a model ...

For a few years now, there’s been a debate over which power distribution architectures – DC or AC – are the most efficient for data centers. I know I don’t have to tell you, but for the record DC is ...

Early data centers were powered by masses of cables under the raised floor. To make the system easier to modify and maintain, and get rid of the skeins of cables that blocked airflow, the cables to ...

Connectors designed for high voltage DC use are being adopted for AC distribution, prompting Anderson Power Products to produce a version of its Safe-D-Grid connector for single-phase AC applications.

The What: ProCo Sound will show new power delivery solutions from AC Power Distribution at InfoComm 2018 in Booth C1734. New to AC Power’s Studio Stage Theater (SST) series are the Portable Camlock ...

How does regeneration work? The positives and negatives of ac regeneration. The benefits of dc regeneration. In October 2021, I presented an article called “Reap the Benefits of Regeneration when ...

Power distribution in data centers used to emulate the architecture of old telephone central offices. A “rectifier” would step down and rectify the ac from the power line and use it to charge banks of ...
