Server Technology Whitepaper: Phase Balancing: The Last Few Inches Of a High-Efficiency Power System
Featured: Phase Balancing: The Last Few Inches Of a High-Efficiency Power System - 2010-07-26
Within enterprise data centers, power used for operating the facility, lighting, running IT loads and cooling is the largest operational expense. Numerous papers and articles have been published by The Green Grid, The Uptime Institute, PG&E, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories and others discussing ways to measure, monitor and increase efficiencies. This paper discusses the effect on efficiency of load balancing across phases in a 3-phase distribution system.
Though it is well known that an attempt should be made to balance loads in a 3-phase system, losses attributed to the failure to balance are not typically discussed. As amperage delivered to the data center cabinet continues to increase from 30A to 60A to 100A+, losses in the feeder wiring should be considered.
