This paper discusses how changes to the data center thermal environment may affect power distribution equipment. This paper also provides an overview of data center power distribution [2] [3] and describes the typical power equipment used for both IT loads and non-IT loads (i.e. lighting and cooling). Included in this list of equipment is switchgear, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), static transfer switches, switchboards, transformers, power distribution units (PDU), remote power panels (RPP), panelboards, rack PDU, line cords, facility receptacles and IT cable trays. Note that the order in which the power distribution equipment is discussed is not necessarily the same order in which it would appear on an electrical diagram. The paper concludes with a set of recommendations on how to improve power equipment thermal compatibility and reliability.
