Debunking the myth that newer data center equipment means less arc flash risk

Debunking the myth that newer data center equipment means less arc flash risk

Arc flash is deadly. Yet, ask your data center technicians and electricians about arc flash, and you’ll likely hear one or two misconceptions. When working in a highly energized environment, it’s crucial your workers know how to separate fact from fiction. Acting on one of the many myths surrounding arc flash could have fatal consequences.

One common myth we often hear is that newer electrical equipment is safer and easier to use which reduces arc flash risk. On the surface, it sounds logical. But, that isn’t the reality.

Common data center design challenges

Common data center design challenges

Whether you’re building a new facility from the ground up or upgrading an existing data center, understanding these challenges will help you create an efficient, future-proofed, and safe data center.

Let’s look at some of these challenges in more detail so you know what mistakes to avoid when designing or redesigning your data center.

Choosing the correct PPE for your data center

Choosing the correct PPE for your data center

Think personal protective equipment (PPE) isn’t needed when working in a data center? Well, you’d be wrong. PPE is often neglected in IT-related workplaces like data centers. Yet, due to the sheer amount of electrical equipment in place, using PPE can be lifesaving when working in a data center.

Data centers are highly energized facilities. As demands on data center infrastructure increase, so does the amount of electrical energy running through the facility. The average hyperscale data center consumes 20–50 megawatts (MW) each year. That’s enough to power up to 37,500 homes!
