4. DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMERS
Distribution transformers step down the voltage from the substation
to levels required by the various systems within the data center.
Continuous monitoring of distribution transformers ensures that
power is efficiently and safely stepped down to usable levels,
avoiding potential voltage irregularities that could damage
sensitive equipment.
5. SUBSTATION ENERGY ASSETS
6. BATTERY UPS SYSTEMS
For large data centers, a dedicated substation connects the data
center to the external power grid. It steps down high-voltage
electricity from transmission lines to lower voltages. It ensures a
stable and reliable supply of power from the grid, which is essential
for continuous data center operations.
A battery-powered UPS system provides immediate backup power in
the event of a power outage, bridging the gap until the diesel generators
kick in. It ensures that there is no interruption in power, preventing data
loss and equipment damage by providing a seamless transition during
power failures.
Monitoring substation assets is crucial to ensuring a stable and
reliable connection to the external power grid and helping to
identify potential outages before they occur.
Monitoring the health of batteries is essential to guarantee immediate
backup power during outages, ensuring there is no interruption in
power supply and protecting against data loss and equipment damage.
