Data centre backup during maintenance
Ultimate redundancy is mandatory to keep all IT equipment operating with the same availability and service level even during maintenance.
In order to improve reliability of busbar power feeds to IT racks equipped with in-rack battery backup support (BBU), it is possible to add a maintenance busbar fitted with tap-offs. Those tap offs in turn each feed into the IT racks through a manual or remotely operated transfer switch certified to IEC 60947-6-1, GB/T 14048.11 or UL 1008.
This ultimate redundancy allows to carry out maintenance on the main busbar whilst 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 availability with a handle operator.
Flexibility can be increased with a remotely operated transfer provided with motorized RTSE that also include manual operation.
Safety, reliability and performance of TSE is guaranteed with certified transfer switches installed as close to the load as possible.
