Medium voltage on the rise: How MV systems can cut costs and boost efficiency in data centers The blueprints for every growing data center across Medium voltage AC power systems, which manage a voltage the globe carry the same caption: “More Power.” The range from 1,000 V to 38,000 V, have been employed increasing demand for electrical power in data centers is extensively in mining and industrial plants, and many data immense, with rack densities swelling, big data pressures centers have been using medium voltage to some extent. pushing up storage requirements, and online social and Now data center operators have connected with the idea shopping activity exploding. Existing industrial facilities of expanding their deployment of MV systems to meet their are being repurposed into data centers. At the same time, industrial-size demands, because they answer the data existing data center administrators are simply running out center’s needs for smaller footprint, lower costs and increased of floor space, while under corporate pressures to reduce reliability. operational and capital expenses. The benefits of medium voltage systems With the above trend of the “industrialization” of the internet MV power distribution is especially beneficial for data centers in mind, data centers evolving into what amounts to data that rely on flexible architectures, valuing modularity and factories, operators are beginning to consider wider use of scalability. Medium voltage power distribution provides a medium voltage (MV) power distribution systems in place of cost-efficient way to connect modules as the facility expands, conventional low voltage (LV) systems as a way to significantly although maintaining MV-powered modules requires personnel reduce costs and im
