And for large-scale data centers, standardization is crucial to building and operating efficient, scalable, reliable facilities \u2013 and, thus, to return on investment (ROI) and profits.<\/p>\n<p>The LV power train is defined as a combination of MV\/LV transformer, LV switchboards, UPS and LV power distribution to individual IT racks. It&#8217;s possible to design this block of equipment with comprehensive integration and optimization in mind.<\/p>\n<p>You can also pre-validate the system, to ensure everything is in good working order before it arrives on site. A standardized LV reference design also includes site installation details as well as operational sequences and recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Using a reference design shouldn\u2019t mean you completely give up flexibility; the design should provide some options that enable it to be modified to your specific requirements without a significant impact on performance objectives. Perhaps you need to add UPS to the power path of your cooling systems, add or remove redundancy at the UPS module level, or change the location or type of UPS batteries. All are viable options.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64976\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/GettyImages_641204328__1__jpg_n3rH6Ppu-small-300x168.png\" alt=\"colocation\" width=\"600\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/GettyImages_641204328__1__jpg_n3rH6Ppu-small-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/GettyImages_641204328__1__jpg_n3rH6Ppu-small.png 764w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/> <\/p>\n<h2>Access Reference Design Experts<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, if you\u2019re going to choose a reference design, you need to have some confidence that whoever came up with the design is an expert in the subject.
