Schneider gives datacenter switchgear the software-defined treatment
Medium-voltage systems typically operate between 1 kV and 36 kV, bridging the high-voltage grid connection and the low-voltage supplies feeding server racks. REG AD googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('labrador/thereg/article/desktop/b'); }); Conventional switchgear is engineered for the requirements of a particular site. Schneider's approach instead uses standardized hardware, with protection, automation, metering, monitoring, and control functions configured through software.
