"It’s really AI adoption that’s creating this real urgency”

Moving to 800-volt DC infrastructure from traditional 415 or 480 VAC three-phase systems will enable higher power densities at the rack level, but also prompts new design considerations for data center power distribution.

NVIDIA and 20 of its largest customers are preparing to r change how they power GPU clusters, enabling more efficient & powerful AI factories. At OCP, NVIDIA says CoreWeave, Lambda, Nebius and Oracle are now designing for 800 VDC data centers. datacenterrichness.substack.com/p/ai-factori...
