Protecting data centres
Protecting data centre power distribution systems against risks ranging from reduced service life and increased energy consumption through to system failure and fire in cabling is a priority for data centres where system downtime carries heavy consequences.
The new range of power quality monitoring equipment from Bender UK mitigates these risks and provides the ability to predict and prevent problems, while also reducing costs and avoiding issues caused by so-called ‘dirty’ power systems suffering from interference.
Interference in modern power systems can be caused by frequency converters, switched-mode power supplies, uninterruptible power supply systems (UPS) and electronic ballasts.
These units distort the sine wave of the electrical power and superimpose different frequencies on it – causing the power supply to become ‘dirty’. Systems interactions can also cause interference in neighbouring equipment.
However, monitoring system quality using Bender power quality monitoring (PQM) units ensures high availability and a power supply free from interference.
