NEW! Efficiency Gains with 480V/277V Power at the Cabinet Level
This paper explores the merits and drawbacks of 480V/277V power distribution versus the more conventional 208V and 415/240V 3-phase designs in use today. At present there remains a number of challenges associated with implementing 480V/277V at the rack level that will need to be overcome before sales volume of 277V gear is sufficient enough to reach price parity with the acquisition and operating costs of 415V/240V infrastructure and products.
