Branch Circuit Protection for High Density 208V Power Solutions
Over the past two years the power consumption per server has increased an estimated 20-30%. To facilitate the increased power loads, power solutions that were typically rated at 1900 to 4900VA are now regularly rated at 4800 to 8600VA. Because of this, there are new certification requirements that must be employed to ensure the integrity of a mission critical facility. Read the full paper.
