ABB and IO have agreed to partner in the development of a new data center module based on direct current (DC) power to meet increasing demand for DC data centers.
DC-powered technology is being increasingly adopted for electrical distribution in data centers as it reduces power conversion losses and is 10 to 20 percent more energy efficient than traditional alternating current (AC) technology. DC-powered systems also reduce complexity and require less space – decreasing equipment, installation and maintenance costs.
