The 1KPP-3KPP and 1KPP-4KPP low-voltage distribution boxes enable dc power from an off-the-shelf supply to be distributed using industry standard 3- or 4-pin locking plugs. The solutions enable ...

When Thomas Edison developed the first practical incandescent lamp in the 1880s, the merits of alternating current (AC) electric power and direct current (DC) power distribution were debated. It was ...

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 ...

Brace yourselves for a monumental leap into the future of energy distribution! The DC-POWER project, funded by the European Union, has officially kick-started in January 2024. Coordinated by CEA (INES ...

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 ...

The demand for increased compute density. An evolution to ±400-V DC distribution to next-generation AI/ML supercomputer racks to meet that demand. Challenges and solutions in making the move to ±400-V ...

Anyone who is familiar with the early history of the utility industry in the U.S. knows that a battle raged over whether the electric grid should be Direct Current ...

Is high-voltage DC (HVDC) the future of power distribution in data centers? If so, power-supply designers will have to work through a lot of challenges to make it a reality. The evolution of power ...
