Data center backup during maintenance
Ultimate redundancy is mandatory to keep all IT equipment operating with the same availability and service level, even during maintenance.
To improve the reliability of busbar power feeds to IT racks equipped with in-rack battery backup support (BBU), adding a maintenance busbar fitted with tap-offs is possible. That tap offs in turn each feed into the IT racks through a manual or remotely operated transfer switch certified to UL 1008 and IEC 60947-6-1.
This ultimate redundancy allows maintenance on the main busbar while ensuring that 100% redundant power is always available by simply switching to the maintenance busbar supply remotely or manually.
Simple redundancy is possible with robust manually operated transfer switching equipment (MTSE) to guarantee the availability with a handle operator.
Flexibility can be increased with a remotely operated transfer provided with motorized RTSE that also includes manual operation.
TSE's safety, reliability, and performance are guaranteed with certified transfer switches installed as close to the load as possible.
