Continuous Power in Data Centers

Selectivity in Low Voltage UPS distribution networks

As a first step in our continuous power journey our goal is to support you in designing selectivity between UPSs and protection devices.

The selectivity coordination of protective devices - upstream and downstream of the UPS - plays a vital role in increasing the availability of the electrical network during faults.

Installing UPS to secure the availability of continuous clean power in a mission-critical environment such as a data center is not enough unless this is complemented with coordinated protection devices.

This set of documents will help you select the right protection scheme and devices to ensure network reliability.
