Industrial facilities place unique and demanding requirements on electrical systems. Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, warehouses, and infrastructure sites rely on continuous power to keep operations running safely and efficiently. Unlike commercial buildings, where loads are often predictable, industrial environments introduce fluctuating demand, harsh conditions, and critical equipment that cannot tolerate unexpected outages. At the center […]
Modern facilities depend on electrical systems that are more complex, more powerful, and more critical than ever before. Data centers support digital infrastructure around the clock, industrial plants rely on continuous power to maintain production, and commercial buildings are increasingly automated and electrified. As these demands grow, the equipment responsible for distributing and protecting electrical […]
Switchgear, switchboards, panelboards, and transformers have all seen stretched timelines as the demand of electrical equipment has surged and supply chains are impacted by external forces sometimes out of our control. In many cases, projects haven’t been delayed because of design or permitting but due to critical electrical equipment that is late to arrive on […]
Artificial intelligence is changing what data centers are built to do—and that shift starts with power. AI training and inference workloads rely on dense clusters of GPUs and accelerators that draw significantly more energy than traditional enterprise or cloud applications. Instead of steady, predictable loads, AI creates higher baseline demand, sharper power peaks, and much […]
Copper bus bars are integral to switchgear and panelboards. Identifying the right copper bus bar that can take on carrying high current, surviving faults, and is reliable to keep the equipment running is important for consideration. What’s changing lately isn’t the fact that we use copper — it’s how carefully we’re optimizing it. Between rising […]
Switchgear is one of the most important pieces of any electrical distribution system. It protects equipment, separates faults, and helps keep power running safely — whether it’s in a factory, a commercial building, or a data center. When switchgear fails, the ripple effects can be serious such as downtime, damaged equipment, safety risks, and expensive […]
Electrical distribution systems are the backbone of modern facilities. From data centers and industrial plants to hospitals and large commercial buildings, these systems are responsible for safely delivering power where it is needed, when it is needed. Two of the most common components within these systems such as switchgear and switchboards are often mentioned together […]
The Future of Switchgear in Data Centers Data centers are entering a new era defined by rapid growth in power demand, tighter uptime expectations, and increasingly compressed construction schedules. As facilities expand to support artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and high-performance workloads, the electrical infrastructure that powers them must evolve just as quickly. At the core […]
