New Customer Needs are Driving Demand for Emerging Technologies to Influence Data Center Design

Image
As the data center landscape continues to evolve, many data center organizations and colocation service providers are focusing on new ways to improve their speed and agility. Innovations to any data center design are helping clients achieve their implementation speed and performance goals. In response to this need for innovation, Schneider Electric has launched several new businesses that are built to address data center trends such as prefab modularity, Open Compute architectures, edge computing and new service models. I recently spoke with Jim Simonelli, Senior Vice President of Emerging Businesses at Schneider Electric on this topic. “Our customers are focused on improving speed of deployment, innovation and quality,” he said.  “Many of their situations and issues, across the globe, deal with time-to-market. They expect the same type of delivery in North America as they do in India. They want the same type of response anywhere across the globe in terms of speed of designing ...

Different types of circuit breakers explained!

Generally, in the case of a power connection, the electricity goes through a circuit breaker box where it is divided into numerous circuits. These circuits are supported by a breaker or fuse, which function as switching devices that can be function manually or automatically to control and support the electrical power system. Without a circuit breaker, there is a risk of electrical fires, shocks, and electrocution. There is a broad range of circuit breakers available, which depend upon the voltage, installation, external design, placement, and breaking mechanism. Here are the different types of circuit breakers: Air Circuit Breaker : This circuit breaker operates with their arcing contacts exposed to the air. These contacts operate at a given level of atmospheric pressure. In many of the places, air circuit breakers generally serve as replacements of oil circuit breakers. Types of air circuit breakers: Plain Air Circuit Breaker: This circuit breaker is also known as Cross-B...
